Penzance/Botallack/ Pendeen

Temperature: 9 degrees at 8 am with a high of 10 degrees.

It started out as a sunny day, but it ended clouding over with misy rain.
We bused down to Botallack and walked the Tin Mine trails. When we eventually arrived at Geevor Tin Mine Museum, sadly closed, but thankfully, the cafe was still open, closing shortly but enough time for a hot drink. We then walked into Pendeen, where we caught the bus back to Penzance.
We were both badly in need of a haircut and once relieved of our mops headed to have a nosy around this pretty place.

Reisende Is that the castle that split away into the sea one night as a ball was in progress?

Reisende I have no idea, but I don't think it was as there are lots of buildings that look like that.

Penzance/ Porthcourna/Lands End
Temperature: 11 degrees at 8 am with a high of 11 degrees.

It's another wet, cold, and chilly day with showers coming over frequently.
Caught the scene bus route to the Minack Theatre. Some of those country lanes are only wide enough for one vehicle. Thoroughly enjoyed looking around at the theatre, but it certainly was a steep climb up from the bus stop. The buses run every 2 hours so caught the next bus to Lands End. We had a good walk around there before coming into the cafe to warm up and have a bite to eat. Caught the next bus back to Penzance. The pics are from Minack Theater.
After we arrived back in Penzance I had a nosy around the 3 fabric shops and found one piece of remnant.Les mer

Penzance/St Michael's Mount
Temperature: 9 degrees at 9 am and a high of 9 degrees at 4 pm.

Today, we caught a taxi to Marazion so we could reach St Michael's Mount with plenty of time. Our taxi driver is a singing taxi driver so he sang a seashanty as he drove us. Sadly, the castle was closed, and it was wet, windy, and freezing 🥶. We did take a tour, and that was interesting and meet up with a couple of Kiwis from Wellington.
Once we came back, we headed for the Information Centre regarding transport to the amphitheater and Lands End, we hope to do this tomorrow. Had a Cornish Pasty at a well-respected pastry shop, it was very tasty.
Michael bought a paper and went back to our accommodation while I had a nosy round the op shops. Didn't buy anything 😕.Les mer

Caught the train to Paddington Station, where we had morning tea with one of the ladies from our Christmas lights tour.
The train trip seemed long, but it was pleasant. We only had a small window of sun. Otherwise, the day was dull and wet, it's only 4 pm, and the sun had set. Arrived in Penzance at 5.30 pm pitch black but thank goodness our accommodation, The Longboat Inn, was opposite the station.
Not much opportunities too take many photos.Les mer

Woke up this morning feeling much better and, of course, went out for our morning walk. A very pleasant walk, no slush around, so my shoes aren't muddy.
Everyone, and I mean everyone, has a dog.
Another quiet day, but I have managed to get out for a couple of long walks just to get some fresh air. A warm day and no rain.
On the road tomorrow.Les mer

I'm still not feeling the best today, but I am on the mend.
Michael and I went for our normal morning walk this morning at 7.30 am, a very pleasant morning, not cold at all. I never tire of looking at the old houses.
We went out to a local pub for a traditional Sunday roast. We are still not used to dogs in pubs, especially around food. But they were all well behaved.
We took Sue, her son Michael and his wife Jo. Sue's Michael and I had lamb, Sue had Turkey, and my My Michael and Jo had the Beef.
Had an enjoyable couple of hours together, then when we came back, I went and had a lie down. Had a lovely snooze, and when I woke up, I felt a huge change with my cold. The corner has turned, hurray!!! Roll on tomorrow.

It is much warmer here. I didn't need to wear 3 or 4 layers today. It is lovely warm. Michael ended up at Starbucks while I indulged in soaking up Harrods. There were loads of people there and buying up too. I will put more pics up on Facebook.Les mer

Day 8 Budapest/Frankfurt/ London
7. desember 2023, Ungarn ⋅ ❄️ 1 °C
Temperature: 0 degrees and snowing at 7 am. this morning. 7 degrees when we arrived in London tonight.

What a bloody day!!!!!!
It took us 12 hours to get from Budapest to London. We only had 2 x 1 hour, 20 minute flights. Our first flight was delayed for nearly 3 hours. This, of course, meant missing the connection, then getting seats to Heathrow was a trial, but it worked out in the end. Back in the UK, safe and sound. It's was a long and tiring day.
It looks like a fine day in London today, so I'll leave Michael at a pub close by, and I'm heading for Harrods.
I now have a cold🌻Les mer

Reisende Dang it. I thought you might catch the cold from Michael. Not that it’s going to hold you back. Enjoy Harrods.

Vienna to Budapest
Temperature: Minus 1 and snowing in Vienna at 8 am with a high of 2 degrees in Budapest.

Train left only 30 minutes late, so we departed Vienna around 11 am and arrived at our hotel 2.45 pm.
Wet, dreary day, not very inviting at all.
We headed out for a 2.5 hour walk around 4 pm in rain and snow in the dark in Central Budapest and, of course, the Christmas Markets. There was no time to organise anything else, so we went with the group. By the time we arrived at the restaurant at about 7.30 pm for dinner, we were all cold and soaked through. It was wonderful to be in the dry. After a pleasant evening together, we were back out in the snow and rain for a 20 minute walk to get back to our motel. I feel sad we haven't really seen Budapest but thoroughly enjoyed their Christmas Markets.Les mer
