Short take: bad weather at last!
It was a dark and stormy night... and the morning, although less dark, was still very windy (Lidia's favorite weather :-). The hike to Falmouth wasn't long, however, so we bundled up, took our leave of Jane and Carwinion, and walked off down through the gardens to the Coast Path. While not as strong as the winds we experienced a couple of days on the north coast two years ago, the gusts were still quite energetic, and not even Bonnie was much inclined to dawdle.
We were fortunate, however, that it didn't start to rain until after we had arrived at Falmouth and we were just a little damp when we got to our small hotel. And that was more or less that for the day, as no-one felt like walking around the town with the rain falling horizontally. We skipped lunch (an increasingly frequent occurrence -- English breakfasts are, even when you hike, difficult to fully digest before mid-afternoon), and after a few games and an impromptu little karaoke dance party in Franz and Ingrid's room (dancing services supplied by Lidia and Bonnie), we ventured out into the storm for an early dinner in a little restaurant on one of the quays called The Shack, which served simple, but excellent and very fresh, seafood.
Friday's forecast is for a continuation of the storm... which probably means that it will be calm and sunny.
