April 27th, 2009 – Tour Day 6 – Exeter

It was raining this morning when we woke up. For the most part, the weather has been beautiful – sunny with blue skies! So I guess we were due for a rainy day. We visited two places today; Buckfast Abbey and a little town called Widicombe on the moors. (See photos below)

The Chambers Singers were given permission to sing in the Abbey and this was a very memorable experience.

From Stephanie Jean-Paul:
My favourite part of the trip so far has been meeting the locals. We’ve been making great friends along the way, and having interesting conversations. A few girls and I on tour had our first official tea party in a real manor!!

Some of the students (and Brenda), were housed at a Christian retreat centre in Torquay. It was luxurious and they even had a swimming pool! Here are a few pictures from it:
