Day one in Devon

We are resting after a long day.  We set off in the morning but had to turn around as I had forgotten a few things.  After that slight delay it was a trip on The Road To Hell, which was not as bad as we expected.  My wife did the first part of the drive and we swapped round after taking a break at a Costa drive through in Bagshot.  

I drove most of the rest of the way.  We had a few more stops to stretch our legs and eat the lunch that had been provided for us, as well as to stock up on driving snacks.  Driving past Salisbury was an experience as there has been an accident at Stonehenge.  This meant that I got to see the stones from a distance and gained more of an appreciation of how big they are compared to us humans.

We got some final supplies in Exeter before my wife drove us on the final stretch.  Which meant retracing our steps.  But we have arrived.  She had booked dinner and we ate in the sun, me having a beer while she had a shandy with a trace of alcohol in it.  Dinner was great and the kids, who on the whole have been great for most of they day enjoyed the game we played while eating.

After dinner, my daughter and I went for a walk, the photo being one of several that were taken by the two of us.  

Anyway, now to rest and hopefully to enjoy the first proper day of our holiday tomorrow.
