We have met so many nice and friendly people over the course of the last 8 days, whether other Coast path walkers, people out on day walks and locals walking their dogs. We met one such gentleman this morning – Harry and his trusty old dog, who told us how much he had loved Canada when he was stationed in Medicine Hat for a time. He too, told us about Poldark and wanted to be sure that we didn’t miss any of the highlight on the days’ path. He even waited to make sure that we got through a particularly tough “rocky scramble” before waving goodbye. Upon reaching Cape Cornwall, we were able to get a glimpse of it for about a minute before the fog and mist hid it from view. Prior to arriving at Sennen Cove, Peter thought it would be best if we walked along the beach and while admiring the surfers, we got surprised by a rogue wave which came to our knees, soaking our already wet hiking boots. Thank goodness our hotel, The Old Success Inn provided us with old newspapers and towels to dry out. After an early dinner downstairs, we took a taxi to the renowned Minack theatre in Porthcurno to see the Opera Carmen. This is an outdoor venue with a backdrop of the bay. Unfortunately the fog persisted and although we weren’t able to enjoy the view, we did appreciate the production.
Good thing we have clear waymarkers on rainy, foggy days!
