Homeward Bound
Sorry, taken a while to get this online, back in reality and no spare time.
Anyway, we woke up and had lovely country breakfast, Joyce and I went to look at the homemade jams etc and had a ghostly experience - sounds odd now but at the time it was intriguing but not scary.
Standing looking at the wall of preserve bottles and the 'staff only' door next to us had someone knock loudly from the other side, we did not answer it. A few moments later it opened (this meant we were behind the door) it stayed open for a little and then shut. No one peered around it or made a noise, then the door handle rattled like someone was trying to open it agin. We looked at each other.......
When I went to pay the bill, I asked the owner if he had ghosts and he replied - none that he had seen but the previous owners had had it researched and found the ghost of a pet dog! So I explained what happened - we went to the room and the room on the other side of the door was a laundry and the outside door was bolted on the inside...... When I demonstrated again, the door flew out of my hands and slammed shut!!! Oh well, we were in a convict building - what can we expect.

After that it was off to the airport, Joyce was treated to a little over security at the airport but all was good, she was not smuggling anything.
Our plane ride was uneventful and got the hire car, took Bob and Joyce to their hotel and said our goodbyes!, The drive home was a longer trip than usual as there was a bad accident and that blocked traffic, 4 hours to get home - knackered and still sick so home to bed via the cattery for a jail break (got lily and willow out).
Summary:
Fantastic, driving and touring holiday behind us, we saw so much, did so much and stayed in some lovely places. Need a week or so to think it all through and do a recap, both have bad coughs and colds so thinking clearly is optional.
Thank you Bert, Bob and Joyce for a great time... Where to next??? This is our 3rd combined holiday, France/England in 2009, South Island New Zealand in 2011 and Tasmania in 2012.
