Visiting Truro

Yesterday at breakfast we decide to spend the morning in Truro. We'll meet Susanne at the new cottage this afternoon. We know we need to do some grocery shopping and there's a M&S in Truro, plus the city is famous for its "ancient, cobbled and narrow streets with a range of stunning architecture featuring Gothic and Georgian styles", plus there are lots of little shops. What more could you want from a day trip? We learn from our server at the inn that in the UK a "city" means it has a cathedral. Never knew. 

Love these!

And this!

Lunch at a marvelous art store/gift shop/cafe.

Our first Bakewell tarts!

We lose track of time in Truro and have to rush through M&S willy-nilly grabbing breakfast and lunch foods for the next few days. We then jog to get the bus from to Truro to St Austell, Bob runs down the hill to get our luggage which we stowed at the inn, then he runs back up and we wait for the bus to Charlestown, where Susanne is waiting for us at the stop!

It takes serious concentrated effort to work out bus times and hikes times and then make decisions on whether to bus out and walk back or walk out and bus back. Such conundrums we face.

We walk down to a pub for dinner and cider and then try the water, which is a shocking 55 degrees. 

View from our cottage door first thing this morning.
