Quick picture taken outside the Bullring Shopping Centre in Birmingham.
Just on the Cross Country service to Birmingham New Street as Charlie and I are off to collect a car.
It is nice and quiet on the train and we’ve managed to get a table seat!
Got lots on today including working on the plans for the new Short Term Leasing website, which will be a spin off from the Cocoon Vehicles one.
Found this Apple Shop in Mevagissy! But not an iPad, iPhone or iMac in sight!
It was a beautiful place though!
Today we went to Polperro, as recommended by Mum and Jeff. Most cars are banned from this little fishing village and the transport into the village is by converted milk floats, known by the locals as the Polperro Trams.
We walked down to the harbour.
A few pictures from Lizard Point on Wednesday 12th October 2011.
On the latter ones, I did manage to get very wet feet and shoes, as I was stood somewhere I shouldn’t have been!
Taken these pictures mainly
For Charlie as it’s one of Brunels bridges across the Tamar
Stayed at the Premier Inn at Torquay last night. Got to say, I wasn’t impressed.
I know this particular Premier Inn can be very busy due to it’s location. But from getting to reception to leaving this morning, I just found it all hard work.
We booked the Premier Inn as we were travelling down to Devon/Cornwall. When arriving the member of staff said there must be a problem as everyone had been booked in.
It’s only when I showed him both the text and the email, that he decided to check his computer.
Once we had checked in, we were given our cards and told where our room was. We went up and tried the card in the door, nothing worked!
We eventually gave up and went to reception, the gentleman came up to check the door and explained there maybe a delay.
He let us in with his card to discover that the beds were not made up. So back up to reception we went.
After a bit if checking and a word with the manager, they managed to find us a room. And this time our it had a sea view.
One we were finally in the room, we were ok. TV didn’t work properly but all I wanted to do was sleep.
We woke up in the morning and went down for breakfast at around 9.30. There was quite a queue for the breakfast room, with some people complaining that there was a twenty minute wait for tables.
Although there seemed to be enough members of staff, the tables were all dirty and full of dishes. After about a twenty minute wait we finally got a table.
Due to it being 10.05 when we finally sat down, they had ran out of tomatoes and mushrooms.
Normally I am very impressed with Premier Inn Hotels, I have stayed at this particular one before and it was similar. I put this down to how busy it was.
Hopefully when I get back, a survey will come through and I’ll fill it in as truthful as possible. Apart from all of this, love the locations and my time in Torquay.
