30 Complaint-Free Days 

Day 17

Falmouth (again), fog and a drop of rain.

The forecast was for rain so the decision was made to return to Falmouth rather than get muddy and wet on the planned walks. It was very misty so decided not to take the 'Park & Float' - visibility was too poor to be able to make the most of that option. Did the 'Park & Ride' and sat at the top of the bus to enjoy the views.

Wandered around the town, taking side roads when they looked interesting and getting an  idea of the full quirkiness that is Falmouth.

The options for eating are almost limitless - and I even discovered a place that does gluten-free, vegetarian pasties. Woohoo, I won't have to make my own and bring them with me in future!

The journey back was a bit scary as it was so foggy that it was difficult to see the road in front of the car. I was relieved that it was daylight. On returning to The Lizard the sound of the lighthouse foghorn signalled 'home'. Then it rained - oh my did it rain. 

And still no complaints. Even in damp and dismal conditions I still love Cornwall.

Day 16

Falmouth.

In about 6 visits to Cornwall I had never visited Falmouth. Didn't think it would be interesting.

How wrong could I be?

I really rather like Falmouth. It has a quirky feel to it that I appreciate. Plenty of independent shops plus a smattering of the big high street names.

It looked glorious as we approached by shuttle bus with the quite narrow streets festooned in brightly coloured bunting.

There are boats going off to places on the other side of the estuary  and river tours (mentally booked for next time). It is steeped in history and has some glorious buildings (and some not so glorious, but we won't dwell on those).

The Maritime Museum is very interesting. I saw the yachts that Ben Ainslie won gold medals in and learnt so much about the Vikings that I didn't know.

I simply have to go back and explore some more.

Maybe even this week!
