Falmouth, England
















Took 45 min coach ride to Land's End, England. This is the western-most point
in the UK. Beautiful area. Couldn't believe how clear the water was! It was also
WARM! You know how you go to Pismo, and it's warm on the sidewalk, but as
you get close to the water, there is a cold wind coming off the water? Not here.
--At least not while we were there. The air was calm, and the temperature was
something like 80 degrees! By chance, someone was having their picture taken
with my maiden name, Ellis, up on the sign post. Had to take advantage of that
:o) Corey and I were amused by "Scily Isles." I kept picturing some silly
cartoonish island with funny animals on it.


Hopped back on the coach for another 45 minute ride, but this time we went to
St. Ives. TOTALLY CUTE town!!! The streets were incredibly narrow. I am sure
the drivers hated the whole tourist-lot of us! Oh well. Found a funky little toy
store. We were a bit dissapointed that there were no Wallace and Gromit items.
Apparently, W&G are like Bugs Bunny or Woody Wood Pecker in the
states--classic, but old enough that they aren't sold in normal retail
shops.


Want to buy a one room house in St. Ives? 450,000 pounds, which is close to 1
million dollars!


Back on the ship, I went to the gym, and then got ready for two hours of
pampering at the spa! Corey bought me a Ladies' Night package -- total body
exfoliation, 1/2 hr sauna/steam/hot tub/warming beds, a back massage, foot
massage, and mini facial. Ahhhhh :o) The man spoils me. He's so sweet :o)
