Sunday morning the boys go off to play golf. Manon, Emma and I have a relaxing day by the pool. In the late afternoon we sat on the table with our information books of the local area and Devon discussing where we will make our journey. We decide to head to a place called Princetown, so off we go heading along the country roads which are one way, the roads are so narrow that if another car comes along you have to reverse back or the car coming from the other direction have to reverse back till you find an opening on the side of the road so you can pass.

The horse wanted to order an ice cream. Dennis had to wait his turn

The country side along the way is breathtaking. While driving in the Dartmoor National Park we come across wild horses along the side of the road by Haytor Mountain. They are so tame. We walked to the top of the mountain. Sander, Dennis, Harley, Emma & Mats climbed the big rock while Manon & I stayed and enjoyed the scenery with Puck & Molly. I got talking to a local who told us that we were having a good summer. Last year it was very wet. Luck us.
There is an Ice cream refreshment van where the horses stand around waiting to see what they can get to eat. The kids had ice cream and as we headed back to the car the horses followed us they did not want us to leave! One of the horses took a liking to Dennis's car and started to bite on it. Dennis was not very happy and Molly was going crazy as she does not like horses at all.
We went on to drive to Princetown along the way the wild life, the horses cows, goats & sheep run across the road as if is part of there territory. We had a sheep that ran along side the car as we were driving, and a cow in front of Sander's car, well it is the country so strange to see.

| Enjoying the summer evening |
We stopped at Two Bridges Hotel which is in an idyllic location.The dogs ran around as we enjoyed refreshments in the garden.
After a lovely afternoon exploring Dartmoor we went back to Lilac Cottage had a BBQ and enjoyed the summer evening.
