It definitely feels as if our holiday is coming to an end. This will be another bog with no interesting photos. Today was predicted to be good weather wise and it started sunny. After breakfast we quickly loaded and started the journey. The M5 was easy to find and we were on our way just after 1000. Our aim was to have two breaks between here and Hayle. The traffic was light compared to Derby and Birmingham so that the driving was easy and comfortable. The sun was on our east side and that made it good to travel. It was just over an hour and we arrived at Exeter service area. We had some coffee and the remains of the Bakewell pudding which we had not eaten. Within 30 minutes we were on the road again heading west on the A30.
The familiar road took us round Dartmoor, Okehampton and Bodmin. We were now getting a bit low on fuel and bought some more petrol at the Victoria service area which had improved somewhat since our last visit (20 years ago?). We got a bit lost coming out of the service area and ended up driving towards Newquay but we soon found a roundabout with a sign for Truro and Redruth. Back on track it did not take us long to reach Hayle. We decided to carry on to Sainsburys in Penzance to buy some goods and fill up with petrol. This we did although the car had its rear wheel problem again and we waited for it to cool. We were soon back at Hayle and settled into our room. We had a good basic pub meal next door and settled down looking forward to an earlier start tomorrow.
