Day 17: A Whirlwind Tour (7/28/2010)

**WORK IN PROGRESS**





8:30 breakfast. Drove to Minark theatre in Porthcurnow. Recommended by Marian. While there we got a brochure for Porthcurnow Telegraph museum. Decided to go because said something about being largest telegraph station in UK. Very historically important. Found we could access internet so we didn’t have to go to St. Just library to get directions to Stonehenge, and the telephone number of Harkaway. Drove to Poldark Mine. Made sandwiches. Found ice had melted and made our pasty leftovers soggy. Finished pasties, ate lunch. Went to Poldark mine. Poldark mine more impressive than Geevor, but Geevor more impressive because of the complete Mill. K mailed two postcards. Left around 5pm. Went to scenic Lizard point because it was nearby. Walked coastal trail and down to the water of the point. D was surprised the water wasn’t colder seeing as we are so far North. Tried to head back to Helsten but the traffic police detoured us, so we had to find another way back. Took some back country road that led us god knows where and was only room for 1 car at a time for half the distance, but luckily connected back to the A394 which could get us home. Stopped by Sainsbury’s Super Store to get dinner and more ice. Were gonna buy 14" pizza for 4P but then got two whole baked chickens for 1P each cause they were trying to get rid of them for the evening (normally 4P each/or 2 for 6P). Got some other things like dish washing soap, scrubber, can opener. Also got tortillas and canned corn to eat with our chicken. Called Harkaway and let them know we would be arriving tomorrow between 7pm and 8pm. Returned to Mzima. Had dinner. Washed all the dishes. Showered. DL and deleted pictures. Bed @ 11.
