Magical moments and a great musical.
Today was another great day to be on holiday. After breakfast we spent a few hours in patchy sunshine fully exploring Port Isaac. Up and down the village's hills, in and out of lane ways, walkways, while taking lots of photos at every viewpoint. We saw it all reading a local guide as we went.
Found "The Entry" ('Squeeze-ee-belly Alley') the Guinness Book Of Records lists as the narrowest public thoroughfare in the world being just 45cm wide. Every cottage has its own ...
The sun shines and a touring we will go.
... off for the beautiful sea side town of Marazion.
A short drive through the township's narrow main road and then a u turn back towards St Michael's Mount. Great views from car park of the island with St Michael's sitting atop the hill.

We shared another great Cornish pasty while walkimg past the Town Hall and Cathederal.

Have noted a number of wind farms in Cornwall - all with about a dozen ...
Biospheres and foggy moors
Today was the Eden Project day. Despite the hype and the expectation it was an awe-inspiring endeavour to behold - giant bubble wrapped geodesic domes, taught, tight and transparent plastic. After an hour in the rainforest dome - perspiring and humid - the Mediterranean dome was a pleasant change. Saw the giant Fibonacci egg/seed hewn from a solid piece of granite.
