And back to Cornwall

After all the horror stories about Heathrow we found it very easy to negotiate. We landed not at a walkway but out in the boondogs with coaches waiting to pick us up. This might have been partly because we had an extradited criminal on board and we needed to land some where so that the police could pick him up. There was certainly quite a hold up before we were allowed to leave the plane.
We were through immigration very quickly , found our bags, and went out through customs all in about twenty minutes.
A very kind gentleman at National coaches put us on the next coach to leave for the Central Bus station , where we negotiated for the sum of eight pounds a change to a 1.20 bus,two hours earlier than we had planned
This definitely made the expedition manager very happy.we arrived in Exeter at 4.45, where we were met by our very good friends Geoff and Mary who bought us home.we stopped at their hous e for a quick cup of coffee and were back in our house by 6.30pm. We were both very tired but we also had a certain smugness a out responding we had achieved. As we drove across the border into Cornwall it started to rain, who could ask for more?.
