Day 7, Sunday 29/5.

Beaulieu Palace. Home of the British national Motor Museum
Picked up Alan and Noeline and went to Beaulieu Motor Museum (short diversion through Lymington main street and the Ferry to Isle of White before going to Beaulieu). 

Had an excellent day exploring the Motor Museum, the Abbey and also Lord Montague’s Palace. Returned to the Pub near the Olde Barn (where Alan and Noeline are staying) for dinner.

A lot of the vehicles are mobile
Some roads are barely wide enough for cars, without livestock
Ponies roam freely in the New Forest
Trees meet overhead, trimmed by the busses and trucks
Road signs can be impressive
