July 27, 2016. Doc Marten-land

LOCATION:  Newquay, Cornwall in SW England
WEATHER:  Drizzle most of the day.  Real English weather at last!  Highs in 60s

We had a "full English breakfast"'at our B&B in Truro.  George had the kippers, too, kind of a smoked mackerel.  Then, we walked to pick up our rental car, passing by Truro's brewery.

We picked up our car, a cute orange Fiat mini.

We drove up the coast through terrible traffic.  It seems that lots of people have selected Cornwall for their holidays,  our destination was Port Isaac on the west coast, the town called Port Wynn in BBC's Doc Marten  show.  Unfortunately, it was overrun by tourists and we couldn't find a parking place.  The town is smaller than it looks on tv.  I didn't get any good pictures.


Instead, we drove around around the nearby countryside.

  1. I will be curious to hear how you like the car. Apparently Fiats are not highly rated.
