Darn Sarf

We landed in foggy and dismal Paignton at about 11.00 ish On Thursday morning, after setting off at 5am in the morning. The M1 had been a complete nightmare pretty much all the time we were on it! Britain had been batterd by the worst storm in 17 years and we seemed to be in the middle of it as we where chugging our way south.

Paignton I'm glad to say isn't a 'Dying town', but a perky little coastal resort. The beach is quite nice and they also have a nice small harbour.

On Friday we hit Torquay (only 10 mins away) for a nice meal then to sample the 'January night life' We had opted to go for a Mexican as this seemed to have the best reviews by everyone attending. The meal was Ok, well theres only so many things you can do with those stupid Tortilla things. I'm sure if you were to go and sample real Mexican cuisine (in Mexico) then it wouldn't be at all like the stuff they serve over here. Anyway the food was ok (edible)... I would have gone for Italian if it was my decision, Italians can be funny at the best of times, but there food is some of the best in the world.

Anyway the night was a sucess - Lots of Tortillas,Chimmichangas and 'Sol's' later!!

Saturday was pretty un-eventfull we just chilled, and played a music quiz game called 'Buzz' on the PS2, Which Em seemed to get highly competitive about!!


Sunday - I had been waiting for this all weekend we where going to the ZOO!!
Em's nephew Jamie (2yrs old) seemed no where near as excited as I was!!

It was brilliant, if anyone is in the Devon area in the future make sure you give this place a try, it's a really nice Zoo. I'm going to set-up a flckr account in the near future, so you can see the pics.
