Penzance, Mousehole, & Cape Cornwall: Christmas Eve, 2016.

Nice little drive to Penzance this morning.
Not too much traffic about - perhaps everyone is last-minute Christmas shopping?
Vicky is excited.
So many opportunities to take photos of fishing boats.
You spoil me, Dave.
Look Vic.
Not every boat is a fishing boat.
A gang of sanderlings and a cormorant.
If you can't beat 'em, join 'em.
Vicky takes some photos of fishing boats.
A couple of fishing boats looking splendid in the morning sunshine.
St Michael's Mount from Penzance.
A cream tea to help us keep going.
Wall-to-wall boats of various sorts.
David, can we go to Mousehole now?
We are in Mousehole, which is all set for its Christmas Lights Extravaganza.
Santa is in Mousehole and keeping fit for his big night.
You sit there Dave and I'll take a photo of you.
OK Vic.
Vicky and Mousehole harbour.
Next stop - St Just.
Unfortunately, St Just doesn't have a lot to make us stay but it does have a brown sign for something called Cape Cornwall so we follow it.
Cape Cornwall.
We like it already.
A Cape Cornwall selfie.
It's a bit windy here but at least it's in our backs when coming back up a slope.
One of Vicky's signature jaunty-angle-jobbies.
Rocks, waves and spray.
Brilliant.
For somewhere we had never heard of before, Cape Cornwall has been wonderful.
Something we took a photo of as we drove back to Carbis Bay Pt I.
Something we took a photo of as we drove back to Carbis Bay Pt II.
Something we took a photo of as we drove back to Carbis Bay Pt III.
Something we took a photo of as we drove back to Carbis Bay Pt IV.
