Pub scenery.
On our final day in the UK, we went sightseeing with the family. Starting with the boat ride around The Needles and then moving on to checking out some scenic villages (Godshill and Shanklin). We were back at Jason and Agata’s in the early evening and back at Heathrow at dawn the following morning. Were it not for a 6 hour layover at Dulles, we would have been home in time for lunch; as it were, we got home on Sunday evening. Guessing that our next UK climbing trip will be to Wales or Scotland.
