Devon and Cornwall day 6 - Burgh Island and Salcombe

After breakfast we drove to the Devon Chilli Farm. Lots of free samples of chilli products - chutneys, chocolate etc. We had a look round the show greenhouse and bought some chilli relish and chilli chocolate.

We then drove to Aveton Gifford and went for a walk down the river. The road we were on was tidal, and the tide was coming in. It started raining heavily so we didn't want to wait, so Scott carried Shirley piggy-back through the water.

While we were walking, Amber took a bit of a funny turn where her back legs seemed to collapse for a bit.

We drove to Bigbury-On-Sea where we had our lunch in the van before walking over the tidal causeway to Burgh Island.

There's a sea-tractor which takes people over when the tide is in. On the island we had a walk round, watching the seabirds (cormorants etc.) at the southern point.

After this we drove to Salcombe where we had a walk, bought some scrumpy and had a pint at the Victoria Inn.

We went to Tesco in Kingsbridge on the way back. Since it was now dry and sunny we took the awning down in preparation for leaving tomorrow. Dinner was pasta and sauce (with scrumpy).
