Polperro to Helston

Polperro, a smaller seaside village just 4 or 5 miles down the road was also bustling with tourists although there is no beach to speak of here - just a harbour inlet with boats on the dry with it still being low tide. Quaint little shops and holiday houses drawing in the crowds and you can understand why as these villages have such charm. From there we ended up on one of those very narrow, windy, one lane country roads where you spend quite a bit of time backing up. It was a relief to eventually join a slightly wider lane which led to Bodinnick and the car ferry to Fowey. Our "short-cut" had worked out after all!

Cheers from Polpero!

We have been to Fowey and the towns between there and Helston, where Faye and Paul live, before so there was no need to stop anywhere else until we got to Truro at 6.30pm. By this time we were hungry so we has a lovely Thai "earlybird" special at the only unreserved table at a restaurant whose name we can't remember. Then it was just a short skip and a hop to Helston - lovely to see Faye, Paul, Dan (who at 15 is now taller than Len) and Livvy (who at 13 is now as tall as me)!

Having a busy time in Helston!
