The Lizard Peninsula

Yesterday saw us up early perched in bed watching the All Black vs Wallaby game. I say watching but I really mean following the commentary because it was not available on the telly in our apartment. It was pretty lively and exciting and we were sorry to not be able to view it but we did watch the highlights later on the 'puters.




Then we drove off to The Lizard Peninsula which was again another wow. We turned in to check out Kynance Cove - I think that was our biggest wow for the day. On the way we stopped to taste the blackberries growing on the side of the road. When we lived in Glenside they grew opposite our house and we used to pop down a board or two and pick them for apple and blackberry crumble. These ones are small and taste more like apples than blackberries so we only had a couple.


The cove was fantastic - we got chatting to a guy with a model plane or two and Ian spent time watching him at work with it.


We spent quite some time walking - the coastal roads are just wonderful - never be a dull moment.



Ian is calling me - I tried not to step in the cow poo


Bit further along - this the cove and down in it there was a cafe


I almost stepped on this very happy relaxed cow - the cows are very healthy looking


They are happy to wander and you have to move out of their way - bit like Harley just thinking of their tummies


Magnificent sea once more - we could have pottered around all day but it was time to move on and have a raspberry and pavlova ice cream in Lizzard




Next stop was Cadgwith - another lovely little town and harbour


Love the rocks


Wouldn't want to fall off the edge


Looking into the harbour


Those pots once more




Boats all up waiting


We spent time working out how they got in and out if the water
Then we went further driving slightly north through St Keverne - more fascinating sights and Ian is very used to driving in 2nd gear down little narrow roads with high hedges hoping not to meet other cars not to mention 25% inclines up or down


On the way back we came across little inlets like this one


With swans and the like


Hard to find somewhere to eat last night as it was Saturday and we ended up at Beach where we went on night one. Not quite the same - we had cod fillets but not so wonderful or so big and I decided to have chips which sadly had been sitting around for a lifetime. However it is the only not so good meal we have had
