St. Michael's Mount

Following a lovely breakfast , with our walking shoes on and our trusty rucksack we set off to St Michaels mount ,6.6 miles one way . Sun shining. The coastal path dipped in and out of Newlyn and Penzance. We walked the last mile along the beach , admiring the all the shapes and sizes of the Sunday sunbathers 😘 .
Joining the National Trust ( a true sign of our ages) as we bought our entrance ticket to the mount . First stop Cornish clotted cream vanilla ice cream . Lovely 😊. Then along with many Chinese visitors ( that seemed to have followed us all the way from Canada) we explored the castle. Great views from the top .
Just before we set off on our walk back we stopped for a cool glass of Pims and a pint 🍺.
