Here are our musings from our second day in Cornwall.

Today, feeling decidedly lazy, and bearing in mind that we came to Cornwall with the intention of doing very little, we had breakfast and then laid around for a few hours.

We eventually got organized and drove to Tintagel, which is the nearest town and the legendary birthplace of King Arthur. The Castle at Tintagel is in ruins; it sits high up on top of a hill overlooking the cliffs and caves, twists and turns for which the Cornish coast is known. Watching the waves explode into the Cliffside was amazing. It is quite a windy day – so much so that Andy and I were able to lean into the wind and let it support our weight on top of the hill. Fortunately, it wasn’t too cold – that probably would have put a damper on our enjoyment of the afternoon.

After exploring the ruins, we walked back into the village of Tintagel and stopped for a quick lunch and a postcard, and then we came back to the hotel with the intention of being decidedly lazy for the rest of the afternoon. We have dinner reservations here at the hotel for 7:00. According to the Observer magazine, this is one of the top 5 places to eat in Cornwall, so I am looking forward to a nice meal.

We added a few pictures to the Cornwall page. Have a look!
