what a day ... we end up, exhausted in Polperro in a lovely B&B ... 1145pm, fed watered and blogging once again ...
Lands End first ... windswept but free of people perhaps we have beat them all here
Mousehole, the harbour, a rapid rain shower, children paddling trying to catch fish,
Falmouth, busy, art students with strange shoes, big ships, vegetarian breakfast for mid-afternoon lunch,
Looe, tired, weary, wondering where we will stay tonight,
Polperro, all welcoming and beautiful in the evening sun
a strange loop around this tip of the world, but fascinating, not only for the actions and the jugs, but for the landscape, sea and sky ... the sky is one minute grey and heavy with rain the next an audition for the Simpsons ...
the sea is wild and threatening at Lands End, calm and welcoming in the sheltered harbours of Polperro Falmouth and Looe ...
the west is flat and treeless, then within a few hundred metres we are plunged into deep wooded valleys ...
an awesome, awe-inspiring day that makes you feel small and insignificant ...
the evening in Polperro - without doubt the most beautiful and interesting of the places we have visited so far - restores some degree of humanity ... good food, good beer and a comfortable bed for the night ...
