Day 60 - Dartmoor day II

Woke up refreshed and recharged. Helps that the hotel served a pretty good English Breakfast. For £20 per person, which is slightly cheaper than most B&B, we stayed in a hotel which has a pub that serves fantastic food, wonderful room with flat screen TV and many many channels, and most importantly, super friendly and helpful staff. I think Nardev found us a really really good deal. So yeh, if you're going to Bovey Tracy, Dolphin Hotel is highly recommended.

We start off with a sunny day.

Oooh! A Rainbow!

Of course must take photo with such a wonderful weather lah.

Met some friendly sheep on the way. They approached us instead of running away!

Totoron was obviously excited, so was his owner.

As we trekked on, the weather kept changing. Sunny, then cloudy and drizzle then sunny again. Had to put on layers, take off layers, and put them back on again. All in 1 hour. The cycle went on and on. We almost lost our way in a small town, as the map didn't reflect a lot of things that we see, but thanks to our trusty navigators(Keng Rui and Nardev), we found our way.

Note how cloudy the sky is.

Think this is the greenest computer I've ever seen yet. And when we finally trekked to Cantonteign Falls, the tallest in England.....

When in the world did a waterfall become natural property??

Ouch. We were a week too early, but given their "efficiency", it might be a month too early actually.

Can't see the falls? There is always the board.

disappointment.

And the skies cleared up. Perhaps sympathy for our plight.

since we can't go to the falls, we shall attempt to drink it then.

the rainbow shined. Is the pot of gold over there private property and opened during Easter as well?

Disappointment overcame eventually.

we took a cab to Exerter, where our train back to London will be from. Well, there were technical works at Newton Abbot, so we can't take a train from there.

Exerter Cathedral. Like Royce says "What's inside? Let me guess, a priest, benches, flying buttress and an organ"

Former Guildhouse, now a shopping centre.

the statue aren't pleased wit the orange cone on his horse.

And at the train station, we found out something - my ticket says that I'm suppose to board an earlier train, even though we booked for the same timing! I think the person at King's Cross booked mine to leave Exerter at 18.43, instead of Newton Abbot at 18.43. Sigh, now we can't go back London together.

So that's it. The end of the last trip of all 4 Machas. sigh.
