CORNWALL HOLLYDAYS

Today was the last day in Torquay and probably because we are leaving  for Falmouth tomorrow, the sky cried and cried and dropped buckets of water ! We wanted to visit the town center, but we were stuck it simply rained too much.



So we sat in the library and waited for the rain to stop. Finally it became a bit better and we ordered a taxi to take us to Torquay.



First thing we did we went to a pub and had a nice meal. Meanwhile it had stopped raining and we visited the town



We also went to the shopping street and I bought a nice bag with owls on it (there were no cats !)



In the little park I saw a statue in honor of Agatha Christie, there also was a long water flow with fountains.
Then it started raining again and I took a taxi back to the hotel. Nicole and Dominique continued their shopping tour, I didn't go with them, I had enough. Ilona had stayed in the hotel, she didn't feel well.



When I came back, there was a wedding reception. I went inside the room to take some pictures of this beautifully dressed table. Unfortunately I didn't see the new weds.

I also caught a little cold so I went early to bed.

CORNWALL HOLIDAYS DAY 2

As planned we started our "Agatha Christie" tour ! Torquay is very proud of its most famous inhabitant;
Unfortunately the day was grey and rather cold, but nevertheless we managed to see a few things.



The church were she got married and the park she loved.



Our guide was a gentlemen of a certain age who explained how she lived here, got married etc etc, but it started to rain so much that we decided to return to the hotel instead of catching a cold ! Only Dominique bravely made the whole tour. Here we are well covered, but were soaked when we arrived at the Hotel, where btw Agatha had spend her honeymoon. !



We spent the afternoon in the cozy lounge of the Hotel with a beautiful view on the sea.



It continued raining the whole afternoon, so we went to the indoor swimming pool and had a nice time there. Finally we have enjoyed this quiet day because we were still a little tired from the long trip the day before.

After a very nice supper with 3 courses we went to bed, while another school celebrated the proms ! They all looked so nice in their long dresses and suits.
