After leaving Wales a week ago, we have just spent a week at Salford Hall, one of our Karma Resorts. After a whirlwind start to the trip, this was a good opportunity to have a couple of rest days, and a couple more driving to some beautiful little towns in the Costwolds and West Midlands.

We now head back to London for our last two nights in the UK before taking the Eurostar train to Paris, where we begin our three-month tour of Western and Central Europe. The next post should be in a week or so from The City of Lights!
