... we nevertheless enjoyed a stroll around the steep streets of the town and after a drink at the Golden Lion decided on "The Old School House", built in 1875, for our room for the night. After passing the religous studies room we were ushered into the english room with commanding views over the fishing boats in the harbour. Looking forward to sampling some of the local seafood tonight.

... chapel (well, ruins of) which dates from around 1000AD, and the castle itself was established around 1233AD. After a walk around the windy headland, we headed for Newquay, which is a popular town/beach for surfing. My favourite part of Newquay was definitely the house on top of the tor with it's own suspension bridge!

Took them home and then have come over to Sharen & Steve Mays at Northam to use their computer. Apart from this travel blog I checked the A League and not happy with the Jets effort against Brisbane!!

... in Kilchberg, nearby to Zurich Lake. The weather turned up a treat and we’ve enjoyed almost 1 week of temperatures over 30deg. , nice sunny days and some beautiful day trips out of Zurich, even reaching just over the German border to Konstanz & Meersberg (unfortunately no passport stamps to prove it!)

We have visited the Rhein falls, driven ...

... geocaching stop to make, so two of A's girls climbed another hill with us, C manning the GPS and M finding our hidden treasure under a large rock outcropping. Getting to it was slippery, but worth it.

Unfortunately it has left him with some brain damage to the frontal lobe of his brain and he has memory, cognitive and reasoning problems. He also suffers from constant headaches, strange sensations in his head and the list goes on.
