Up the Fal

31 August 2009 | Pontoon, River Fal
Nichola / Sunny and windy
Just a quick update as we have got a tiny blob of internet signal. We are now up the River Fal on a pontoon where we have been since leaving Falmouth last Tuesday. Its very sociable up here!

We were planning to go on to Fowey but will stay here instead. It is cheaper and better protected and we are able to get to the Eden Project by train from Truro which is just a dinghy trip up river.

That will give us some time to explore more around here - so far a foraging trip has resulted in lots of plums that are now soaking in gin ready for Christmas - if we can wait that long :-)

We then need to start thinking about making our way back to Brighton and the ever growing job list.
