Good Morning Penzance

What a wonderful start to the day.

Although we were greeted by a break in the cloud on Saturday afternoon the weather still managed to remind us that the sun doesn't always shine in Cornwall. After dropping our cases off we stepped downstairs to enjoy alfresco Fish and Chips at the Fat Fish Restaurant. Minutes after sitting down we were driven inside by a brief but wetting shower and a stiff breeze.

A Penzance Morning

Sunday morning was a delight. The view from our balcony, across Mounts Bay was stunning.

After sorting ourselves out we went up into the town for a few essentials, Sun Cream, stuff for my cold (it just hit me on Saturday night) and another UV filter for the camera.

Some of the Newlyn Fishing Fleet

We managed to walk all the way to Newlyn and saw the fishing harbour and the few boats still operating out of there. Mostly decimated by rubbish EU legislation. Who in there right mind would consider throwing bycatch back in the sea - total waste.

After stopping for a pint at the Swordfish while my leg rested (a great excuse) we carried on back to Penzance, stopping off for a dinner of Roast Cornish Beef and a pint of Skinner's Betty Stogs followed by a Sharps Own at the Alexandra Inn. BathZena acquainted her self with a pint of Healey's Cornish Rattler - lovely cyder.

3 pubs later and a surprise pint of Blue Anchor's Spingo Middle at the Dock Inn and we found our way back home.

What a great start to our holiday.
