A long day, with lots of climbing and walking. We are now in Devon, which is just as hilly and steep as Dorset. The weather was cool and misty, but it didn't really rain. The scenery was spectacular. We arrived in Plymouth in the rain, checked in with no problem, and headed straight to the nearest grocery store. Again, we were too tired to walk around the town. We are completely enjoying our long days of biking from city to city, but we are also quite happy with warm showers, good food, and a comfortable bed at the end of the day. We had notes about an app that would lead us around the historic parts of Plymouth, but no energy left to enjoy it. We are not unhappy about that; our main focus is the biking, and that is awesome. But for future planning, we might slow things down a little and schedule more days in an area.
