We said goodbye to the narrow lanes of Nth Devon and headed southwards in the sunshine and the school holiday traffic to Cornwall dropping in first of all on lovely Boscastlle.
This picturesque harbour / village featured on the world news stage in 2004 when a flash flood after 8 inches of rain carried cars and buildings down its narrow streets into the sea.
Today there was nothing but sunshine, the wafting smell of Cornish Pasties and the overhead shriek of Dinosaur sized sea gulls to remind us of where we were.
Clambering up to a lookout overlooking the town and harbour I put up the drone to catch some shots of the beauty of this part of the Cornish coast and of the village / harbour itself.
On the road quickly afterwards to avoid the mortgage sized hourly payments one has to deposit in car parking meters over here, we headed across Bodmin Moor to our destination for the next 3 nights, Looe.
The GPS seemed to sense that we were now accredited narrow lane drivers as it took us along any nearby road that involved minimal clearance rather than directly on some of the busier wider roads.
Kev and I had a blue after I got one of his Go, Stop, Maybe commands on a "blindish" corner but all was forgotten as we finally arrived at Looe a picturesque village just south of Plymouth.
Having checked into our b&b all that remained was to explore the two towns (East & West Looe) separated by a 50p ferry ride and catch up for dinner with our great OZ friends Linton, Viv and son Mike who we plan to share the next week with before heading home
