Following Vicar Miles' info, we are staying in the church hall in Portreath. Much to my disappointment it is not a beautiful old church, but, as Alison says, reminiscent of a double wide. The good: hot shower, room to spread out, across the street from a small grocery, a block from the harbor, a kitchen. the not so good: no charm whatsoever, Terrie Ann taught ballet lessons in "our" church hall from 4:00-6:15. When she unexpectedly arrived our wet stuff was sprawled everywhere.
We only walked 12 miles today because of the weather forecast. it rained for 4 or 5 hours starting at about 11 or 12. We were hoping to get here before the rain (forecast to start at 1:00) but no such luck.
The best news is that Vicar Miles decided not to walk today due to the weather, so he is not sleeping on the floor at the far end of the room.
Scenery is great, especially when it's not raining. The walking is easy. We didn't see a single UFO, but if we do we'll be sure to send video. Alison is keeping me entertained with the news of the day.
Today is the highest tide of the month. This evening, after the rain had stopped and we had reorganized our sprawling mess, we walked down to the harbor and saw the highest high tide. Flooding and sloshing over the harbor walls. The wind direction was optimal for creating chaos in the walled entrance to the harbor. It was pretty darned dramatic. See photo.
