Made it to Exeter

We boarded our flight to London last night, our wonderful seats mid business cabin (quiet) after a good meal we slept as good as one could that is excited when trying to go to bed early! Then after a couple hours of sleep we landed in London at 7:30am local (12:30am our body time) a bit groggy and sleepy. We cleared customes in record time, Delta gave us a fast track coupon that short cut the immigration line. We picked up the luggage and made it to the bus terminal in less than 45 minutes, if we knew where we were going it would have taken 35 minutes to walk fast. At the bus terminal we boarded a bus 3 hours before our planned trip(cause they had room) and we arrived in Exeter 3 hours early! Just a side note the bus ride was one of the coldest in recent memory! The driver had the A/C on and it was only 45 degree's outside with rain, probably had bus down below 40!!! even locals were donning jackets. Marcia had her jacket with her, mine was safely underneath in cargo hold, 4 hour bus ride.....freezing. So when we left the bus station we put our rain jackets on and walked very fast (to warm up) to Nicoles place of work.....Starbucks. Walked in got in line, Nicole was working the register and did not notice us until she asked us what we wanted!! She squeeked it s you and your early and she ran around the counter to hug us!!

No to find a phone sim card so we can text and have contact locally with Nicole and the 30 minute walk (uphill) to Nicoles home fo dinner and an early night and hopefully a full nights sleep.
