This one’s a wrap-up of the Penzance Experience, mostly in the form of things I photographed because I thought they were interesting at the time. Things like the shopfront on the uphill side of Market Jew Street, which is somewhat…

Land’s End
You can’t go to Cornwall without going to Land’s End. That’s … just how it works. So I took a bus. Double-deckers, it turns out, give an excellent view, but magnify the sway on narrow country lanes. That guy on…

Mousehole, Marazion, and St. Michael’s Mount
OK,so the first thing is that Mousehole isn’t pronounced like the thing mice live in. It’s closer to Mowzel, where it’s ‘ow’ in the I Just Dropped Something On My Foot way of saying it; Only found that out after…

Penzance – Getting there & Wandering around
Me being me, I got to the station far too early. This, I’m sure, comes as no surprise to anyone. I tried to be as quiet as possible getting showered and moving out, and hopefully was successful, though all of…

Back In London
This one’s in a few sections – it covers some time in London, a trip to Essex, and then back to London I still haven’t done a review of the B&B I stayed in, primarily because I’m not sure how…

Iceland Day Five – Þingvellir, Gullfoss, Haukadalur, and Snow
Today was the Golden Circle tour, one of the ‘must do’ Icelanding things. Or possibly Þings. The instructions were to wait on the doorstep of the hostel between 0800-0830 for pickup; The shuttle van turned up at 0829ish. Thee’d been some…
