We've had our breakfast and still feeling a bit knackered from yesterday's journey we set off for St Ives.
Within 100 yards we are revived and full of life.
Amazing what fresh clean air and the prospect of a good walk can do to one.
Making our way down to the beach.
Life's a beach.
Our destination: St Ives.
Dogs love beaches.
We love watching dogs enjoying a beach.
Walking along the coastal footpath to St Ives.
It's not exactly flat!
Fuchsias.
Still plenty of flowers in bloom down here.
Keeping an eye out for any pilchard shoals.
Getting ever-closer to St Ives.

It's safe to say that the tide is out.
Sanderlings are fearless in St Ives.
As are noisy seagulls.
1.00pm-ish.
First cuppa tea since Carbis Bay and not a moment too soon.
Avoiding the crowds by exploring the 'back streets'.
Doubt if we'll be attending this school any time soon.
Another lovely beach, some blue sky and……..some diluted sunshine!
Howard harbour-side.
What's Vicky seen in there?
Aha! Patterns.
And more on the harbour 'floor'.

Yay! More diluted sunshine!
Quick. Take another photo.

3.15-ish:
Heading back to Carbis Bay now and it's time for summat to eat at The Porthminster Beach Cafe.

Buzzard stoically ignores them.
Heading back along the coastal path to Carbis Bay.
Local train also heading for Carbis Bay.
This morning, we were so tired, we thought we'd be catching the train to get back.
But now, re-energised by our time in St Ives, we laugh at the thought of catching a train.
That's the power of nature, right there.
Some Fit Bit facts:
David: 15,098 (long strides) steps.
Vicky: 18,000 (short strides) steps.
David: 7.7 miles.
Vicky: 7.4 miles.
David: 60 stairs (thanks to the undulations of the coastal path).
Vicky: 183 active minutes (an under-calculation if you ask me).
7.00pm-ish:
Back in the hotel safe and sound and fully refreshed it's time for a light meal.
We have had a fantastic day.
Roll on tomorrow.
