Cornwall - Final Days

We returned from our adventure to Land's End by traveling back on the coastal road and stopping into Tinner's Arms for one last pint and quick walk to the beautiful head lands behind the pub. Villages are bound to have two things - a church and a pub.

For our last two days in Cornwall, Rob and Julie took us to small coves on the coastline and one last epic meal at Jamie Oliver's Fifteen in Watergate. After a scrumptious lunch we hiked to St. Nectar's Glen - a mysterious waterfall about 2 miles in the woods.

The next day Steve and I walked from Polzeath to Rock and took the ferry to Padstow  in hopes of having Rick Stein's fish and chips. Cockny gran would say "those bastards closed at 3PM - no love during the off season. F-off. " Padstow's fish and chips subbed in and we headed home to cook dinner for the family. This 10 day adventure to Cornwall was magical. I miss Julie and Rob already!

That's me down there... pano of the St. Nectar's Glen

The waterfall comes through a natural stone hole.

Beautiful view from Jamie Oliver's 15.

We are so happy. Seriously.

The sun broke through the clouds for us. 

Hiking the sand dunes - one of my favorite parts of the coastal path. It's mystical. You can hear the sound of the reeds like a thousand crystals. The sand is soft under your feet. Silence. Nothing but ocean and birds. I LOVED this part of the hike.
