Europe trip continued - Cornwall

 Continuing our European cruise.

Our next was Falmouth in Cornwall.  It is a pretty port.

Falmouth port

We all had an excursion to the city of Truro.  There we enjoyed authentic cornish pasties and shopped at Marks and Spencer.  We used to have Marks and Spencer in Canada but the chain closed after awhile.

Cornish pasties


We had a day at sea to enjoy the facilities on the ship.  We enjoyed the Buffet restaurant on the ship although we had booked some delicious specialty dinners too.   We even did laundry on the ship because we could.  Husband M's sisters decided they were on vacation so no laundry for them! 

To be continued.

I would have done laundry just to have lots of new clothes. Falmouth looks pretty also. It sounds like you really enjoyed your trip.

haha I am with your sister in law. Though we have had to do laundry on one of your trips.. I would only do it if I had too.

On the past few cruises we've gone on it seems like everyone wants to do laundry at the same time. I could never find an open machine so chose to hand wash items in the sink.

I've never been but do fancy it. Marks and Spencer is still very popular over here. :-D

This was fun! I used to live in the next county over from Cornwall (Devonshire), and have been to Truro several times. I missed the pasties and then we found a shop run by a man from Cornwall. His shop is called the Pasty Company, so we stock up whenever we go there :) They are as I remembered them, delicious! Loving your trip Christine, thank you!

I've never had Cornish pastries, so those look decadent.
