Jack n Karen's Travel Blog: Last couple of weeks in Europe

This is a quick blog as we are currently on a cruise heading back to America and we grab Internet wherever we can.

We spent several days in Cornwall, England had of course to go to Lands End. We were fortunate to have a beautiful sunny day which is not always the case in Cornwall.

One of the many tiny roads we drove- Jack perfected his backing up in order to let an oncoming car go by

Land's End, Cornwall, England

We toured the Geevor Tin Mine. The used to have shafts and tunnels that went miles under the ocean

We flew into Bristol England and then spent a week in Devon and Cornwall. This is a fabulous place for a holiday as there are so many little road to take one off to a village or unique site. One of the best was Port Isaac the location of the Doc Martin series. We took a walking tour led by a man who is an extra in a lot of the shows so he would point out a building and talk about a specific scene that was shot there. Of course all of us would nod our heads and laugh as we remembered our favorite Doc Martin comments, such as "Stop talking!"

Port Isaac(or on the show it's Portwenn)

We spent the last couple weeks of our travels in Bordeaux France enjoying the wine and food of the area. We took a walking tour of the city and a wine tour of the Chateau the Medoc wine area. These were both offered through the visitors center so they are reasonably priced and very good information
