We have escaped crowded busy London in favour of the peace of the Cotswolds. We had a leisurely day today, and are enjoying the relative luxury of a hotel for the time we're here. The freedom of being able to sleep and wake when we want, make tea in our room, have comfy chairs to sit in... is all very much appreciated and stands in stark contrast to our recent hostel experience.
Meredith & I went out for dinner and had a lengthy conversation, including some debriefing of our time in London. We're both pretty worn out from our consistently long, tiring & full days there and consequently we're both pretty pleased that our days here included at least 1 full day of unplanned time, not including today. As for the rest of the evening, since it actually turned out warm & blue-skied after all, we went for a stroll through the town towards the Gloucester docks. If you look on a map, you'll find we're not on the coast. But, there are still docks, and it is still (somehow) a port of sorts! The answer to this mystery is that it is the Canal that works this magic.
Tomorrow we attempt driving again (I think it may be me this time).
