Day 21

 I have the feeling I repeating myself...  Sunshine again today!  

As it is sunday morning, we start our day even more slowly.  This morning, we took another boat to go to the village of Dittisham.  Dittisham is a picturesque riverside village residing on the west bank of the River Dart.  It is a nice cruise of about 30 minutes.  





We climbed a very steep road because we searched for the village.  We never found it, but we ended up at a beautiful foot path.







We came back near the quay and looked for a place to have lunch.  It was not possible as all the tables of the 2 restaurants were already reserved.  We walked around a little bit and sitted to watch the animation on the water: crab fishing, paddle board, swimming.


We took back the boat at 13h.  We grabbed a lunch from the bakery and ate it in the park.  


After a rest, we got back on our feet to visit a Tudor fort, built by the borough of Dartmouth between 1522 and 1536.




We then had an apero on the river side, watching fisching crab, that seem the most popular activity on the river side.  We saw so many family, with young kids, fishing those little crab.  Many people just put them back on the river but others keep them.  I guess it is the crab we saw on many menus in town.


For supper, we had a reservation in one of the oldest pub in town, called The Cherub Inn.  The meal was like casual home made food.  Delicious!


We didnT walk that much today, only 11 725 steps, but many on a hill, so I guess it should count for double.
