Our first port of call was on June 19 when we stopped in Fowey, Cornwall for the day. Fowey is located on the River Fowey on the south coast of Cornwall between Mevagissey and Looe. Author Daphne Du Maurier spent most of her life in this area. Neil and I took a shore excursion to the small fishing village of Polperro, up the coast from Fowey. Quite a walk to get down to the Polperro docks, and quite a climb going back up the hill to get to the coach, but there was a bus shuttle if you needed it. Here are some pictures of Polperro - very scenic:
We stopped at a little cafe in Polperro and of course had Cornish Pasties for lunch:
At the end of the excursion to Polperro, the bus dropped us off in Fowey, where we walked around for a while before taking the tender back to the ship. Fowey is also very scenic. We were lucky to have good weather here. Here are some scenes of Fowey:
A very good day.
