Sep 26, 2009 - Mevagissey

Thursday, September 24 - Friday, September 26 After leaving Caroline and Ed, we made it to Mevagissey in Cornwall with a lunch stop at Jamaica Inn (re: author Daphne DuMaurier) for lunch and a stop at the bio-futuristic Eden Project. ... Driving in Mevagissey was a nightmare, but we had no choice, since our B&B was on the far side. ...  There was no cell phone signal, so we stopped at the Mevagissey Athletic Club and went in where a kind lady knew our hostess and told us where to turn. ... The next day we took the ferry to Fowey (a 35 minute ride) that is another town larger than Mevagissey where, after exploring for an hour, we had lunch in a small Tea Shop. ... We had a light dinner at a local pub which overlooked the Mevagissey harbor. ...

Thursday, September 17 - Saturday, September 19 The drive to Llandudno in Wales was very long (for England) - about 180 miles. ... We then had a scenic, but harrowing, drive back to Llandudno, and had supper in a great pub where we each had a sort of potpie called a "minister pie". ...
