Devon

For one of our final weekends in England we ventured down to Devon, we had not seen any part of this side of England so it was a great exploring weekend. After work on Friday I jumped on a train to meet Josche outside of London so we would miss the Friday afternoon rush out of London.

After a 4hr drive and some extremely windy small roads we arrived in a small town called. Thurleston a beautiful little village on the coast with views of the ocean. The next day we went to a coastal village near by called Salcombe were we hired a small dinghy called a Wayfarer and went for sail. There was not wind and a bucket load of tide, but I didn't care I was just happy to be out on the water.

After our sailing expidition we were starving and thirsty so it was beer o'clock and for me a fresh prawn sandwich was on the menu. We had a wonder around town after lunch through all the sailing shops it was awesome!!!

We headed back to the hotel where we had a swim and several cocktails, before heading off to the local pub for dinner and some drinking with the locals.

The next day we packed up early so we could drive back to London slowly and have a look around some of the beautiful village's and town's in Devon. It was a very scenic route we even had to drive onto a ferry to cross a river.
