Day 145 - All these villages are starting to look the same ....

Porthleven to Backwell - A&L's house

We were sorry to have to say goodbye to Porthleven and the lovely house on the beach especially as the weather had been so delightful, but since the house had been rented out to some paying customers we had no choice!

We returned to Backwell via the Cornish village of Padstow (home to Rick Stein, for those who know about English TV chefs), but all these places are now starting to look the same to us i.e. nice little harbour with a few fishing boats outnumbered by pleasure yachts, shops selling either sweets, Cornish pasties, fish and chips, or nautical bric-a-brac (in a nice shade of blue of course), hundreds (if not thousands) of tourists like us roaming the streets with cameras, and  locals whipping their tops off at the first sign of the sun peeking out from behind a cloud!
