Once again there was no free WIFI until today (Sunday) when we got to Ireland.
Today we toured the Cornwall area. this is the southwest corner of England. Our first stop was a view of an off-shore mansion - St. Michael Mount - similar to the one that most people know about in France. This one (in England) is in the same bay as that of the town of Penzance - think about the 'Pirates of Penzance'. This is near the start of the western end of the English channel.
Next on our day trip was 'Lands End' - the most south west point of land for England.
From here we went a little north to the seaside resort town of St. Ives.
I forgot to mention - the America's Cup Race - the yatch race - is being held in Plymouth this week. There are lost of tents and events in town related to it. The all-night (at least into the morning hours) bothered some of our group - not us as we were tired from our own traveling activities.
This evening we signed up for an optional tour - into the Moors. The area we went to - Princeton - is home to a medium security prison. During the war of 1812 it held a number of American prisoners. Later it was a high security prison. The Moors are a type of land that is some what of small rolly hills, small shrubs, holes in the ground (think quicksand type, or bogs), and most night lots of mist. This was followed by a supper at the local pub.
Another busy day for:
The Weary Traveler and his exhausted companions.
