We flew into Heathrow, took the Express to Paddington, and got right onto the Great Western train bound for Cornwall. It was an easy trip.
We spent our first night at Carbis Bay, the next town north of St. Ives. We stayed at Lamorna Lodge, really more like a small hotel than a B&B, with lots of guests. Perfectly comfortable. Once we were settled in we decided to walk to St. Ives, see the place, and have dinner. It was a longish walk even though there really wasn’t an open area between the two towns. We rounded a bend in the road, though, and St. Ives was spread out below us.
Once in St. Ives, we wandered the streets and ended up at one of the restaurants we’d read about, the Porthminster Kitchen. We had to wait for a table, but it was well worth it. A casual place with terrific food, the restaurant sits up on the second floor with a wonderful view of the beach and the little harbor.
After dinner we wandered back to the inn and slept the sleep of the jet lagged.
