31 August

We rode a series of trains through Cornwall to St. Ives, where we found a B&B overlooking the ocean. The train route is advertised as one of the most scenic, and it was indeed very nice. The tracks wind along seaside hills for several miles with nice views of both sandy beaches and rocky coastal areas. We arrived late in the afternoon, but had time for a nice stroll around town and supper on the beach. St. Ives is small, very picturesque, and very pleasant.
