Unfortunately, the rain was coming down when we got off the ferry, so we spent most of our time in the town under a tent in the market, having a cup of coffee and a piece of cake.
The weather eased up and, while Sue and Gord stayed behind with Olivia, the rest of us took a little motorboat ferry to Dartmouth Castle.
We had a good time showing the girls their first genuine English castle, parts of which were built in the 1400s. Another large section was in use during the Napoleonic era, and into the two World Wars.
After touring the castle, Dean and Stacey took the children down closer to the water.
To catch a return ferry, one only needed to turn a colored sign over, down at the tiny dock.
It is so much fun to take the girls to places like this, and begin teaching them more of their English heritage.
