| Castle Comb Church |
We were up early this morning with a walk to the tube station and a ride to the Marble Arch where Nicole rented a car. When we were in Scotland, Bob, my husband, drove. On this day, Nicole drove and Jérôme was the navigator. Driving on the left side of the road feels so strange!
We set out for a leisurely drive through the countryside. It was forecasted for a lot of rain. Lucky for us, the rain mostly held off. As we came to small towns, we stopped to see what was of interest. My favorite stop of the day was Castle Comb. It seemed familiar and when I googled it later, learned that parts of the "War Horse" were filmed there. It is a beautiful village. It was great to see houses with the thatched roofs as we drove through the various villages.

We still had a few hours before we could check in at our hotel so we drove to Bristol. Bristol is a modern city; but, we did visit the suspension bridge while we were there. The bridge opened in 1864 and has been entirely supported by tolls.

We are staying at
The Close Hotel. The little garden attached to the hotel is beautiful. The food at dinner was delicious. Jérôme had sole, Nicole had duck and I had pork. Every dish was delicious. I'm sure our two nights here are going to go extremely fast!
I walked four miles today.
