woke up in Plymouth and visited the steps that the Pilgrims left on. Very mossy and old. Next we went to Penzance and saw the island where they believe Camelot was. The ocean is not as blue as the caribbean but the color of light denim.
We then traveled to St. Ives where we had to walk down at least 200 steps to a beach city. It was filled with cobblestone streets and it is a Cornish town. We are actually in Cromwell. As you know Prince Charles and Camilla are the Duke and Duchess of Cromwell. We were told that this is more important that being the Prince of Wales because the property in Cromwell that came with the tile brings him over 30 million a year in income.
They are very big on cornish pasties and cornish ice cream. I hope to never again see a pastry. The ice cream was really good although. The cows in Cornwall produce a heavy cream milk unlike other cows in England. They use this cream to make the clotted cream for the scones. It tastes like a mixture of whipping cream and butter my two favorites. This has not been good for the hips.
We are back in Plymouth again for the night and tomorrow we are visiting Queen Victoria and Alberts summer residence on the Isle of Wright and seeing Stonehedge. We will be in Portsmouth for the night and then back to London. Yah and Nay!!!
