Porthcothan to Newquay

Up at 5.30 and Julia brought me tea in the dining room (where I had slept!). Had a very nice breakfast, despite proprietor bringing 2 coffees and one tea, instead of 2 teas and one coffee. ... On our way by 7:45 by which time the sun had burned off the thick mist and it was a gorgeous morning. We got to Bedruthen Steps by 8:45 where we hoped to get a coffee but the Nat Trust tea shop didn't open until 10:30 so we walked on, but not until Kevin had walked down the steep steps to the beach and back. At Mawgan Porth we had a coffee and Julia and I shared a chocolate muffin. We decided against buying pasties to carry for lunch - a decision we would regret later! At Watergate Bay there were hordes of people and nothing we wanted to eat so we carried on to Whipsiderry, just outside Newquay where we got sandwiches and ate them on the beach. We got to Newquay much earlier than anticipated so we HAD to go to the pub for a beer before going to our B&B. Our family room is quite big with a shower en-suite but it is uncomfortably hot. Kevin had A funny turn from the heat and I had to get a wet flannel to put on the back of his neck. Despite having all windows open and a fan on, Kevin says he will not be able to sleep. We have just been out for an Indian meal which was excellent! Now off to do battle with the proprietor for a larger fan.....
