Saturday, September 11th 2010 - Ilfracombe, Devon

We headed to Ilfracombe via Port Isaacs (Doc Martin fame) and Tintagel (King Arthur Fame).  Port Isaacs was very busy and the weather uncertain, sunny and hot one minute and a shower of rain the next.  The place was bustling with Doc Martin fans and everyone seemed to be having a great time, including us.


We had spent time in Tintagel on a previous trip and so stopped in again for old times sake and had a lovely time there visiting the old Post Office with it's slanty roof and exploring the gardens and inside the living quarters that had beautiful antique furniture and fixtures that made us feel very young.  The hotel in Ilfracome had a beautiful view out the back door, but the two storeys we had to climb to get to our room was a challenge.  We dragged everything up to our room for our flight to Glasgow the next day..... that was a lot of fun, trying to cram everything into the two suitcases after spreading ourselves out for the last 7 weeks in the car.  In between packing we strolled around Ilfracombe, what a cute place.  There were Amusements on the Pier and it looked like Seaside Holidaymakers Paradise where everyone was having a good time.  We enjoyed our stroll around the town and people watching and then on our return a quiet drink at our hotel before bed.
