Cornwall, England (UK)


Imagine..Narrow Lanes!
Rather Challenging

Today we left our Belfast hotel via a taxi to the George Best airport boarded the short flight to Cornwall on Flyby Air.   Paying almost $500 baggage fee (two small bags) for an air flight of less than two hours was such a shock.  We later learned from the locals that it is necessary to check baggage online before Flyby flights for a much reduced rate.

Landing in the Newquay airport in Cornwall we rent an auto and drive to an airbnb in Mylor Bridge, Cornwall, Southwest England.  A teaching companion and fan of Doc Martin thought Cornwall was a delightful English area to enjoy.

After adjusting to driving on the left lane of the extremely narrow roads, crazy confusing round
abouts, difficulties finding our destination, and being rather tired, we arrived at our  destination: 2 Trevellan Road, Mylor Bridge, a tiny village on the inlet of Mylor Creek.  Cate and John Skinner, our fabulous airbnb hosts greeted us with open arms.  We were totally delighted to find the lovely home that you can view below.   A great setting to just enjoy.

Cornwall is a charming  part of England with temperate weather, beautiful semitropical landscape, many seaside towns, historcal remains,  and friendly people.  We have spent our days relaxing and visiting art galleries, museums, cemeteries, and restaurants in St Ives, St Agnes, Falmouth, Penryn, Truro, Redruth, as well as Mylor Bridge village.
