Last Morning on Capri

We were up at 7am this morning ...

We'd packed a lot of our stuff into the RV last night but we still had food to sort and the bed to strip. It was parked up next to us and so loading it didn't take too long ...

I took Hamish for a walk around the yard and it was very peaceful so early ...

There was smoke coming from a chimney on a narrow boat so there were obviously some live-aboards ...

At 8am the staff begin the task of checking everyone off their boats and our fuel was checked to see how much we'd used of our £100 deposit.

We had a refund of about £71 but £50 of it went straight back to them as we booked our holiday for next April on Broadland Neptune again with the boys! The usual pattern of events on the last morning is a drive to Potter Heigham and breakfast at the cafe by the river. This time we had to change our plans as the cafe had closed only a week ago and the owners relocated to Ludham Bridge where they'll be opening next spring. We drove over Wroxham Bridge ...

and went to Tesco for breakfast and a top-up of food for the weekend. Then it was back on the road and heading for Buckinghamshire for a couple of nights. On the way we passed the Imperial War Museum Duxford ...

and after stopping briefly at Luton for lunch we were soon arriving at the Caravan Club site of Wyatts Covert at Denham Green. We set ourselves up on a pitch but the television reception was terrible and we couldn't get the satellite system to work! I deperately wanted to watch Strictly and after much fiddling with the aerial we finally found BBC1 and BBC2 so I said there was no way that the RV was moving now until we left the site on Sunday!!
