Tall ships

27 April 2008 | Fowey to Charlestown
Pip
I have to say at this point every day I have asked myself - do I still want to do this? In the morning the answer is yes. In the afternoons, I have wanted to get on a bus or a train. No more walking. But then I wake up to think - well, keep going.
But today I changed allegiance from the coast path (has enough cliffs) to the Saints Way, which took me over rolling country and farms, then around Par beach, coming down in the picturesque port of Charlestown, where the tall ships sail from and are repaired.
Stayed at the hotel. Very nice.
