Easter long weekend was coming up and I couldn't just sit still and enjoy sunbathing in the back garden. what to do? What to do? ....Nice weather coming up, I'm not visiting my tiny surrounded-by-the-sea home island so what better place to go but the south west coast of UK? Mike (a Maltese friend & my guide!!!)
and I embarked on a long train journey down south and started our walk from Sennen Cove. From there trekked our way to Land's End then onto Porthcurno.
Wonderful scenery all along the way combined with excellent weather. When we finally got to Porthcurno I had had to stop to visit the Minack Theatre where I couldn't resist going up the stage!
Not only that I actually managed to get a last minute ticket to watch Les Miserables al fresco. I didn't even feel the cold of the night air I was so over the moon! The whole thing about the open-air theatre and the performance....oh oh oh !!! Day 2 we trekked onto Lamorna and visited Mousehole village in the evening. So quaint and cute.
Day 3 we walked onto Newlyn finally arriving in Penzance where we walked across an amazing 2.5 mile beach. Mike and I could not help thinking if only tiny Malta was abit bigger at the same time saying this is awesome; warm weather, sunny just like Malta and so spectacular. Some of the sandy beaches and coves didn't have a soul in them! We finished off our 3 day trekking by lunching opposite Mount St. Michael (to Mike's pride!!);
an interesting castle with its village and forest on an a tiny hilly island just a couple of miles off the mainland. Was great watching people crossing on foot as soon as the tide was out and boat owners losing business by the minutes!
