After passing the passport and baggage claim area, we met our friend Clive in the terminal. We phoned Sixt, the rental car company, to pick us up on the Stansted Airport. And as lucky as we were, we got a brand new Mercedes C180 Elegance. About 9 am we started our journey to Ruislip manor, Clives home, were Claire, George and Matthew were already waiting for us. Claire treated us with homemade butterfly cake and coffee.
We left London about 11:30 am. On the way to Cornwall short before Chippenham ,I ripped the tyre at a high kerb in the roundabout, which costs us about an hour of time to chance the tyre.
In Chippenham we had a small walk before driving to the Motel in Delaware where we stayed over night.
Dinner at the motel at 7 pm
Temperature approx. 28°C with marvellous sunshine
Driven miles: 184 corresponds to 296 km
