Torque to Plymouth

SORRY SHARON AND CAROL i meant to send this via whats app to Rachel and Leah.. 😵‍💫 Had a couple of interesting stops today. First was Dartmouth for coffee.. Quite a pretty wee village and harbour on the river. We crossed the river by ferry to get to the town. Rather like the Opua ferry. parking is pay and display everywhere only this car park wanted cash not card which was a pain. Luckily I had some coins left from the laundromat. Anyway made me laugh because 30mins was 1 pound 50 and an hour was 2 pound 50. So of course we didnt have 50p. So had to pay 2 pound for our hour.. The note on the machine said " we dont give change and you dont get xtra time for over paying" What a cheek!!! Then the loo in the carpark was charged but we found a free one. 😉 Next stop Salcombe and lunch. Had to park on the edge of town and walk about 10min down 214 steep steps to get into town. That was the recommended short cut. You'll see by the photoes there is no parking in town and the streets are very narrow. Very quaint. We sat overlooking the marina and ate our freshly made salad sandwich. It's soooo good to be eating healthy familiar food again. Staying in Maison Pierre b n b in the Royal William yard. It's a very cool old complex of navel buildings dating from early 18 hundreds. Photos 1 - 8 Dartmouth then Salcome. The last 2 are where we are staying. You'll need to zoom the house. We are in one of the top dormers and if you look closely you might see dad's undies on the windowsill drying 😁 poor man had to carry 2 bags, one very heavy, up 3 flights of stairs. No lifts in these old buildings. 🥵Read more
