At dinner Saturday evening, with the rain coming down, the forecast called for a similar day Sunday. It was a sad thought - as Stace always told me back in 2001, "If it's raining in Cornwall, it's the worst place on earth."
But we lucked out with the notorious British weather forecasts being wrong again. We had lots of sun Sunday, a perfect end to our Cornish coastal adventure.
We decided to see Port Isaac, and found this fun playground on the walk from the carpark.
Port Isaac is another absolutely lovely, tiny, harbour town, one of dozens dotting Cornwalls long coast.
With nice weather, I was able to duck into some of the little shops just for pleasure, and not to escape from rain.
The girls are now enjoying this sort of shopping, too - Cora has been looking for new earrings. We bought Cora her first pair of dangly earrings at one shop here - little starfish. She loves them!
Port Isaac has become incredibly popular because it is the filming location for Doc Martin, a show I haven't seen but will now have to look for. This middle house is the doctor's home and office.
Stace bought a crab sandwich for lunch from a little place not far from this stack of crab and lobster pots.
After Port Isaac, we said goodbye to Dean, Jen, Euan and Livi. We then drove on to Bude, another surfing spot with beautiful sandy beaches.
Bude has a neat sea pool, where the ocean water is contained up behind a wall. The girls took a quick dip, but it was very cold. We then ventured to the shoreline.
It was their first time being out in the North Atlantic.
Cora did some body surfing, but neither girl lasted too long in the water because it was so cold. Still, it was a great experience!
They felt much better once they were dried and back in jeans and sweaters.
We then made the drive back to Somerset, through the rain. We lucked out with sun on the coast, and only dealt with rain on the way home - such a blessing to have a gorgeous day in Cornwall to end our trip!
It's unusual to look back at two sleeping girls - Cornwall wore them out!
