After our long trek down the coast via Tintagel Castle and with a few other stops along the way we ended up at Saint Michaels Mount, Mousehole just out of Penzance.
It was one of the most amazing sights in the world to come cruising down the road to be confronted with Saint Micheals Mount.
All I remember was saying “Leevi Leevi look, quick pull over!” so there and then we pulled up at the beach and as luck was on our side we took advantage of the low tide to walk the cause way. The cause way links the small island to the main land. It truly looked like something out of a fairytale. After a thousand photo’s we headed towards Lands End, Mousehole and eventually to our stop for night pirate territory Penzance.
After checking into Penzance Backpackers otherwise know as the Blue Dolphin we ventured out the see what debauchery and skull duggery could be had in Penzance. Our first stop was the famous (although a litle touristy) pirate drinking spot Admiral Benbo’s.
The night ended back at Penzance Backpackers at a reasonable hour allowing us to be suitably refreshed for our next days travel.
