Newquay Day 6 - Celebrating my B-Day

Such a great day - really memorable. We headed out to explore other parts of the city. Must say my impression has totally changed - the southern part of the city is lovely - beautifully maintained parks with manicured flower beds as the pics show.

We decided to head across the Tidal Foot Bridge - big warnings to check the tide times. Needless to say, we walked too far, and when it came time to turn back it seemed we couldn’t cross that bridge or any of the other tidal bridges.

Meanwhile, it was fun watching people paddle board & kayak down the Gannel Estuary to the river as the tide came in. I’m assuming they headed back out with the tide.

As for being stranded on the south side of the river, we finally saw a small wooden sign on the path saying Caravan Park, so headed up. It was packed with trailers. Fortunately there was a reception office and we were directed to head into Crantock, a tiny cute town, to hopefully catch a bus back to Newquay. Fortunately we did.

We even got back in time for our reservation at the Harbour Fish & Grill. It was perfect in every way - view, food & ambience. As a finale to the day we decided to see Barbie - a feel good delightful movie that sent me home smiling.

In the evening got B-Day wishes from the girls & friends, and had FaceTime chats with Daryn, Daina & families. All in all a great 76th.Read more
