Dartmoor and Hotel Endsleigh
Wednesday 7th August 2013
Picked up a hire car in Exeter, and then drove across Dartmoor (stopping off at the Warren House Inn where we said goodbye to Dad and Janie) to the Hotel Endsleigh, where we'd be staying the next two nights.

We stopped off on the other side of Dartmoor in the car park near Cox Tor. I think this is Whitchurch Comon.

On arrival at the Hotel Endsleigh.

17:12:16
Pleasingly we were in time for afternoon tea, which we had in the library. A chaise longue is quie convenient for sitting on with a baby.

Our pleasingly informal afternoon tea.

I really like this picture.

Just before Erika's bath, she seemed interested in the shaving mirror.

20:13:43

21:32:21
Once Erika was asleep we took advantage of the hotel's listening service, and went downstairs so just the two of us could have dinner together. Here's my starter - pea and asparagus soup.

21:53:49
My main course - a raviolo (singular of ravioli?).

21:55:26
Me and Chie at dinner.

22:28:53
Our desserts.

22:48:30
Post dinner drinks - they don't have a bar per se, but this was one of several lounges.

22:48:55
The wallpaper is original, apparently.
