Notice the puddles on the Camel Trail at Bodmin, yes, it was raining - hard!  You can see the old platform to the left in this shot, in fact, we passed many old platforms in the middle of nowhere and it made us wonder who they served.
 

Here's Boscarne Junction station, where the Camel Trail joins the Bodmin and Wenford Railway, a preserved steam railway.  Unfortunately, it didn't start steaming for the 2002 season until the following week or we'd have taken a trip.

The weather had deteriorated by the time we completed the Camel Trail walk, Belinda's changing out of her walking boots back to trainers.  Mike's trainers took a battering during this Cornwall holiday when the kittens decided to chew the laces to bits!

This is Truro, Cornwall on a Sunday.  We originally went to St. Austell but found it completely dead!  Again, the weather wasn't up to much for late May, but we did have a good roast lunch in a pub swamped by ladies recovering after doing a charity run.
 

We went out for a meal to 'The Borough Arms' just outside Bodmin where Belinda had the Fillet Steak and Mike choose the Steak and Kidney Pie, both delicious!  For the pub's website, see our tourist links page.

It was a Sunday evening and The Borough Arms was quite busy when we arrived, we hadn't booked but they found us a table and the service was excellent.  The pub also had a carvery available.  Mmmmm, yum!
 

On our last day in Cornwall we visited Newquay, the largest Cornish resort and the surfing capital of the UK with several sandy beaches.  Mike wasn't interested in all that, he just wanted to know where the beach babes were!

A view of the South West Coast Path as it leads into Newquay.  This is looking towards Towan Beach, the main beach, other beaches include Fistral Beach where surfing contests take place.  Which one for beach babes?
 

Another day, another pub, another meal!  This one had a simply gorgeous view over Newquay's Towan beach, you know, famous for beach babes, er sorry, surfer dudes.  It looks like the camera's caught Belinda in mid-mouthful here.

This was the visitor we had at the window while we ate our meal!  We're sure he'd have had our chips away if it hadn't been for the glass between us.  This Cornish Gull watched us eating for a good 10 minutes before giving up!
 

Belinda here as we walked down to Towan Beach after lunch.  You can just see the harbour in the background, which used to export the local Cornish china clay and ore brought in by railway.

A surfer dude on the beach at Newquay.  So Belinda was happy, but Mike still hadn't found any Newquay beach babes by now!  There were several groups of surfers on the beach, er, surfing.
 

A view of the main Towan Beach at Newquay.  It was quite busy for a Monday afternoon in late May, so maybe it'll be packed with beach babes in high summer!  Can we come back here then Belinda?
Don't forget the video clips of our Cornwall holiday!
 

We sat in the Newquay sun for a while and had a cup of tea, overlooking the beach.  This was the last day of our holiday in Cornwall and it was certainly the best day all week for the sunshine.  See the UK tourist links page for various Cornwall websites related to our Cornish visit.
