Port Isaac

Yesterday we went to have a poke around a seaside port town called Port Isaac. In figure 1 below you can see Gaz demonstrating how stupid the wee lion on the Peugeot logo looks in the carpark.

Seriously, you have a look at the lion logo, what the hell is he up to?

For the first time in Cornwall (in its entire history I think) the weather really turned it on and we were kinda caught out without sunscreen. I was absolutely dumbstruck that England was capable of any kind of burning from the sun. So we went in search of sunscreen and when we found it the labelling was kinda confusing. SPF15, SPF 25 and SPF40 all cost 6 pound. The SPF40 was even labelled as "kids sunscreen". While we were somewhat skeptical about the SPF claims we went for the highest SPF rating (kids stuff) and went on our way around a coastal track.

After a short wander we came upon a small rocky bay where we decided to hang around for a while. Some crabs were found, much to their dismay. I climbed around the edge of the shore and up to a cliff edge to take a couple of photos:

We then headed home via the "co-op" (which is apparently a supermarket) to buy some BBQ food for dins. What I didn't realise was that many of the BBQs here require you to build a wood fire and then pour coals on to it. This one was no exception. What a ridiculous idea! It took about 3 hours to get it to a state where it was capable of cooking food. Dumb. Following dinner there was a few more rounds of "The Renaissance" (spy game) and people began to realise how destructive it can be. Hilarious.
