Today was the last day of our walk down the Cornwall coast, and we would be sadder if the wind had not been so blustery and the sun so hidden, today was no exception. Our schedule was booked weeks in advance, so we had to keep our schedule. The weather uncertainty is part of the fun, and we took it in stride. This trip had the weather of the stormiest days in the bay area during January or February.
The flowers were abundant along these 100+ miles, and many of these flowers grow low so as to tolerate the wind.
In this photo, sea foam has been blown up from 50 ft below, did I mention it was windy.
The day was long, about 13 miles of walking up and down the contours of the coast and our feet are sore. We had a good adventure and really felt alive.
I updated the photo album here:

Tomorow, we catch a train to London for a full day of the city, a welcome change.
It looks windy. Some of the rugged coast looks like Pt. Reyes.
ReplyDeleteAnother great trip, Rick and Eileen.....looks like many great memories to relive in the years ahead. Loved the pictures especially of Tintagel. Your night views of Port Isaac and the boats were really great. I think it looks like Cornwall, from all that I have heard over the years. Your pictures really fill out my images of it. Have a good day in London and a good journey home. You must be in really great shape now.
