Day Six (Tuesday)
Looking at the weather since we arrived, Tuesday looked like an all-day rain. So we plan to take a train from Weymouth to Plymouth. Though much quicker to drive, maybe a two or 2.5-hour drive, we decided to take the train, which is 4 hours, but much more relaxing. This plan worked out perfectly because it was an easy train for Bruce to catch from Exeter to Plymouth. Katy and I arrived in Plymouth around 1 pm and Bruce around 2:30. Katy and I spent the time waiting on Bruce at the Ship Inn down by the harbor. We had a good time trying their local beers and talking to Alan, who has never been to the states but has a Chicago Bears tattoo. He explained that was because as a kid he was a fan of William Perry, a.k.a. The Fridge.
When Burce arrived, it was raining cats and dogs, and so we met him at the Box. An excellent museum and – wait for it – a great exhibit about the Mayflower. I find it interesting that our kids still love going to museums even though there are hundreds of pubs all around. I know that I never thought about going to a museum at their age.
After the Box, we did stop by a campus pub – the University of Plymouth, for a pint and some pizza before we started the 4-hour trip back to Weymouth.
So, as you can see, a quiet day for our final day in Weymouth. Since it’s early and we are flying up to Islay, a fantastic Scottish Island. I’ll share a picture that Katy captured from our two-hour drive to Heathrow. The image that Katy took
