For #ThrowbackThursday here's the view from our room at the Red Lion Hotel in Clovelly, Devon back in 1996. This was a long weekend away with the woman who I'd been going out with for four months at this time and who I've been with ever since. Fond memories of how much my car struggled to get up the hill from this bay, screaming in first gear as it just managed it each day before we'd head off exploring.

Angekommen in #Devon, Nähe #Hartland. Auf den sehr engen Sträßchen ist der #MalibuVan schon ordentlich eingeweiht worden, von entlangschleifenden Zweigen - unschön aber unvermeidlich. Wir sind ein paar Kilometer Küstenwanderwege gelaufen, haben das Museumsdorf #Clovelly besichtigt, am Abend eingekauft und gekocht. Der erste "richtige" Urlaubstag auf unserer Reise klingt jetzt aus auf einem #Stellplatz direkt am Fluss in #Bideford.

For #ThrowbackThursday here's a photo from late June or early July 1996. I'd been going out with the girl who'd become and still is my wife for three months by now and to celebrate her birthday, her first marriage's divorce coming through, and my landing a new job we drove to Clovelly for a long weekend break, our first time away anywhere together, using it as a break to explore the West Country.

And the last postcard of the Devon + Cornwall set. Also my favorite.
#Clovelly was... over-sugared is perhaps the right word. But the harbor was very cool (including some swarming fish), I got to pet a donkey and bought some handmade pottery. Not sure it would be worth driving and paying the parking fee, but it was a great mid-point for a hike!
