TintagelI said it was a great bed and breakfast place. Not that great; breakfast was eaten to the background of an evangelical local radio station, giving out the usual god garbage. Given how stupid we think all religions are, it’s an odd way to start the day. A shame, because otherwise it was a great B&B.

Off to Tintagel, which drags in the tourists because of its association with King Arthur. This is the King Arthur who probably didn’t exist, and certainly not in the mythlogised form; and who in any case had no association with Tintagel. But a nice castle in a stunning coastal location, and well worth a visit, especially on a  warm, sunny day like today. Geoff continued with the wetting himself theme to the holiday. We went through a cave an he missed the gigantic rock pool, which he walked straight into, right up to his knees.

And finally, a trip to Lydford Gorge on the way home. National Trust, a gorge and waterfalls. Nice 4 mile walk, followed by a 4 hour drive home.

Just possibly the coming week might be better weather, so we might delay our return to Spain. We’ll see what the forecast says.

Overall, an excellent holiday!
