In the middle of the night and under the full moon iseina vyras obuoliaut. Go figure! Kingsbridge Knightsbridge - all the same except that in one case you find yourself in Devon.

We have been in these parts couple of years ago and therefore counsious choice was to avoid where we went then. Of the coastal towns we've drifted towards Salcombe and aside from Winking Prawn and a short walk along the coast to the south have seen none of it. The real discovery turned out to be B&B on the south edge of Dartmoor. Unassuming house on the outskirts of South Brent with extremely hospitable owner who runs it all by himself and bakes the best scones for the afternoon tea to date.

Po zvaigzdetu dangum, pasisviesdami telefonais suvaikstom vakarienes i vietini pub'a ir kad be reikalo Baskerviliu suns nelodytume i minksta lova sulipam anksti.

Prie pusryciu buvo daugiau kalbu nei klausymo, tai laukuose sustrigusius stalo kaimynu botus prisimenam, jau tik patys ipuseje tuos pacius laukus, o paskui dar ir grizt reikejo... Gyveni ir nesimokai.

Keltis taip anksti, kad saves truputi gaila. Per tamsu, per mazai miego, per viduri sapno. Miestas tuscias ir iveikiamas per pusvalandi. O paskui laukai: pradzia jau matyta, o nuo Exeter - vietos visai naujos. Iki pietu Devon'o 5 valandos. Burgh Island (Agatha Christie and Puaro for fans).

Avon upes delta. Bantham. Ryskus potvyniai ir atoslugiai. Smelio plezai. Serfingautoju ir kaituotoju rojus. Uolu krastu - kad ir aplink visa UK sala. Coastal Path kiek matosi ir nesimato. Zygio batai ar wet-suit. Dar sumesk varlemis visus tuos akmenis atgal i vandeni. Kelias tik siauryn, kol abiem veidrodeliais brauki pakeles krumus - bet kokia auto (per) didele - bet uztat vairuotojai patys mandagiausi. B&B Kimberley Ringmore, kur svintant lange vel atsiranda jura. Ramu. Dukart per para uzliejamas kelias.

Kas ji nutiese? Greiciausi pasaulyje kelininkai? Vaziuok, tik jei uz auto prieziura moka, svetimas. Juros druska padeda kvepavimo takams, bet kenkia jusu automobilio dugnui. Fact! Bantham plezo Gastrobus - stipriai! Belekiek naminiu pyragu, ne pigiausiu ingrideintu sumustiniai, cia pat verdama sriuba ir net kava is La Marzocco. Only river Avon apart from Bigsbury-on-Sea. The Oyster Shack. Pilna burna juros geriu visus du kartus. Sienos kaip po ispardavimo dazu parduotuvej and someone got too carried away with those decorative fishes, bet tai kas lekstej...! Plausiu indus uz maista. Dar ir prijuostes lygint galiu. Pink pearl desertui.

Smart car knows it all. Mitsubishi Outlander waste of space for only two. Hybrid. Like a plane minus the noise. Tyliausias automobilis. Dar vienas pirmas kartas.
