Thanks to Hannah and Suzie (her hostmum's mum) I spent the long weekend of Easter exploring Devon & Cornwall. Me, Hannah and her mum took the train on Friday morning. The journey was quite long to be honest. Then we were welcomed by Suzie and her husband at Newton Abbot's station. Once arrived at their place we chilled and talked until lunch. During the afternoon we drived in the Dartmoor National Park by car. It was really misty so we couldn't stop or take pictures. Despite the weather the scenery was breathtaking. It looked like we were in the Irish countryside or in Lord of the Rings. We stopped in a village named Widecombe-in-the-Moor to buy souvenirs and have a cream tea with real clotted cream (Yum!).
On Saturday we went to St Ives, in Cornwall. We were all pretty excited to go. After the pictures I saw on Instagram I couldn't wait to see it. It was a three-hour trip by train. As much as the day before so the time was never ending. Once arrived it wasn't especially sunny but at least the weather was dry. We walked down the town centre to find a bakery selling Cornish Pasties and souvenir shops. Then we had a walk along the seaside. St Ives is a charming city. It reminded me of Brittany. To finish our day we had a drink in a pub before heading back to Ashburton.
On Sunday we didn't do much. We walked around Ashburton to find a pub opened on Easter day. We finally found one called Royal Oak Inn. I had my first traditional Sunday lunch in a pub I was happy.
On Monday morning, after these three nice days we thanked our hosts and took the train back home.
