Day 141 - Attending someone else's honeymoon

Bristol to Porthleven - A&L's Holiday House

Of course the planned early morning start didn't eventuate, as no-one had packed the night before, and all of A's children slept in and were late for school. After returning M's hired suit to Bristol, we commenced our journey to Cornwall. We stopped at Lydford Gorge for lunch, then proceeded to walk it off with a nice walk through the gorge.

On route to our destination we saw some signs to a place called Launceston, so of course we had to stop off there on the way (we don't think we'll ever see a place called "Geelong" here though). We arrived mid-afternoon at A&L's lovely beachside holiday home in the fishing village of Porthleven (though the fishermen seem to be outnumbered by tourists these days). We walked to the local pub for dinner with A, L, and L's children who had flown in from Perth (WA, not Scotland) for the wedding. We found it a little strange to be on someone else's honeymoon, but with so many people it does make it a lot of fun.
