After an enormous English breakfast compliments of the hotel we set of towards Hamilton. The trusty Tom Tom was our guide. We decided to detour sightly and have a look at Blackpool.

Blackpool is a great holiday destination in the summer. It all side shows and games arcades along the water front and on a cold spring day it seemed somewhat dreary but there were still a lot of people wandering around enjoying the sights.

The ocean was brown and Surfers Paradise it is not. We spent an hour so wandering around and then drove the length of the beach and back again.

We set off again in a northerly direction. The traffic was much better and we had a great run through to Hamilton arriving at Dan and Jeanette’s at about 3.30pm. After an enormous 3 course dinner compliments of mine hosts we turned in early.
