Yesterday we hit up St. Ives for lunch after paying through the nose for parking. Taryn played parking warden, moving witches hats and signage to accommodate Betty's mammoth turning circle. Things were looking up. Even the sun was shining. Credit where credit is due, and the miserable weather had certainly departed.
After navigating the ridiculously narrow roads and finger waving furiously whist giving way within inches of hedgerows, we attended the Minack Theatre. It's an absolutely stunning outdoor theatre which benefited from the clear skies yesterday evening. The wind was not kind, but luckily the theater seating was shielded. The performance of Mack and Mabel won't win any awards but I guess most were there for the experience.
Returning to the campsite to find a 1L bottle of water had leaked all over the motorhome seats (our bed!) was not pleasant. Taryn brought her teeny tiny travel hairdryer to the rescue. That was an hour of our lives we'll never get back.
Today we headed off about 11am as we have every morning. We really should wake up earlier to get the most out of the day. I guess we're still in lazy mode. Nothing special to report today. We just needed to make up some miles so that we could comfortably get to Portsmouth tomorrow. We're heading to the Wedgwood Rooms to see The 1975. It's what all the cool kids are doing. Until then.
Important Stats.
Distance the last 2 days: 102 & 153 miles / 164 & 246 km

Did u really expect my sis to drive much?
ReplyDeleteYou wouldn't be driving either if you had seen these roads. They aren't big enough for 1 car let alone a motorhome!! If I'm going to hit something, I'd prefer it be later in the trip...
ReplyDeletePlease tell me you had to do a 3 point turn. Am visualising an austin powers, golf buggy in the corridor type moment.
ReplyDeleteGlad you enjoyed the Minnack (though you had to say that after the fuss we made about it). Did you get down to the beach next to it ? Free hanging 65 yr old scrotums aside, its in my top 5 beaches of all time.
Portsmouth next - wow what a come down.
No three point at that moment though many have been completed. Didn't make it to that beach next to the Minack, although there is a naturist beach here beside the caravan park here in Portsmouth. Might save myself the sight of scrotums though.
