It was so hard deciding what to wear today after bike pants and overnight washed shirts for a week 🤣.
We had a nice lazy start watching the tide come in for another blue sky day.
We took the easy option and taxied to the rental car pickup rather than juggle luggage and buses. Excited to get the little Fiat Bambina. It’s so tiny – no Cornish lane will be too narrow!
We couldn’t get into our AirBNB until 4pm so filled in time driving to the larger town of Truro and surrounds, also recognising a few trails we cycled. Most of the towns are around 30-40 minutes apart with some only 10 minutes from here. We bought a few breakfast supplies. Back to reality. Who’s going to make the bed?!
We are a minutes walk to the village. You can see the sea if you stand on one leg and turn your head sideways! But we have a nice view of the many slate roofed cottages.
Today has been lovely and warm – 25 at one point. Port Isaac is just as it looks on the Doc Martin TV show. It’s quite surreal recognising buildings that have been used for other purposes. It is also famous for the Fisherman’s Friends movie based on a true story about a group of Sea Shanties who were signed by Universal records. They still perform at the 18th century Golden Lion pub here. Hopefully this Friday.
Looking forward to a relaxing few days. The forecast is for sun.
