Tuesday was our last full day away, so we decided to do some more travelling to see the sights. We first drove out to Marazion and St Michael’s Mount, which was beautiful; the village of Marazion was very quaint (although everyone around referred to it as a town despite it having no more than 1500 residents).

Today’s entry will be a quick one as we had a bit of a rest day. We drove up to Ilfracombe after our usual breakfast for a walk around by the harbour, the town was very nice but most of the shops and cafés were closed. We saw a very odd statue at the head of the harbour that was completely unexplained (no plaques or anything anywhere), it seemed to be a giant pregnant woman with half of her skin missing.

After our usual fry-up on Sunday morning, we set out for a brief trip to the shops in Exeter, via a walk around our side of the walls. Our hotel is right in the city centre next to the city walls, and the route we took gave us another good look at Exeter Cathedral on the way.

Saturday morning and happily engaged, we woke up, grabbed breakfast, and set off on our daily adventures. We had an odd experience leaving Exeter trying to find a petrol station, we followed the closest icons on the satnav only to find five different petrol stations that had been closed in the past 8 years (the age of the car satnav), all in Exeter city centre! Eventually we found one, then set off to the end of the world.

Following a three-hour drive down to Devon on the Thursday evening, we finally arrived at the hotel around 10pm. We grabbed a quick drink in the bar, but got to bed fairly quickly as we were both tired from the journey. The room was amazing, they gave us the bridal suite (I told Helen they must’ve given us an upgrade as I only booked a standard suite online).
