Carbis Bay to Godrevy Lighthouse (and then home): Thursday, 20th October, 2016.

7.00am-ish:
We wake up and throw open the curtains.
Not bad, eh?
The colours in the sky are subtly changing over time.
Mother Nature is really putting on a show.
Salmon-pink clouds.
Or are they apricot or peach?
Or all three?
No caption required.
Where we're heading today: Godrevy Lighthouse.
10.00am-ish:
We've had breakfast and we've just got time to enjoy the view 
from the hotel terrace one last time before checking out.
Howard is ready for the drive to the lighthouse.
11.15-ish:
We've arrived at the headland overlooking the lighthouse.
Never mind the lighthouse, there's a seal colony just a few yards to the east.
Vicky and the coast to the north-east.
Taking shots of the lighthouse.
Glad to say that the rain on the horizon never came any closer.
View of St Ives Bay to the south-west.
Enough of this. Let's get back to the seal colony.
A bright-orange cattapilla-thingy braves the footpath.
We guard it until it has wriggled across safely.
Seals and pups.
Vicky has no fear of heights. Unlike some.
We've spent the best part of 2 hours watching and listening to the seals.
Now it's time to check-out the beach.
Dogs love beaches.
We love watching dogs enjoying a beach.
Olde chap enjoying the beach.

They said it would be no more than 13 degrees max all day.
The sun is strong and we're wearing too many layers.
It's 18 degrees at least!
Rollers rolling onto the beach.
Ideal for surfers and there are plenty of surfers surfing.
Unfortunately, they are about 500 yards further down the beach 
and we have run out of time to take photos of them. 
Well, they're not as interesting as seals are they.

2.30-ish:
It's time to find somewhere to eat (Portreath) and then head for home.
Boo!
