It’s A Wrap!

IT’S A WRAP 

The last day from Downderry to Plymouth was an expedited hiking day.  The girls decided they had seen enough coast line for the trip and opted for a car into Plymouth so they could explore the town and do some shopping.  Don, Pete and Alistair drove to the Rame Head Peninsula just outside of Plymouth, hiked around the Peninsula, then had lunch at the pub across the estuary from Plymouth and took the Ferry from Cremyll to Plymouth.

The girls were a little disappointed with the shopping prospects in Plymouth.   They were left with the impression of a “tired” town in decline.  Nevertheless, we put on the cleanest clothes we had left and went out for our final night on the town before we all scattered.  We started off at a great little Gin Bar.  We were after all in the home of Plymouth Gin!  After tearing through an impromptu Gin tasting at the bar we had a great gourmet dinner at a wonderful restaurant called the Fig Tree @ 36.  That was a wrap for a great hike!


The city of Plymouth


The one and only . . .




The Place where the Mayflower set off




From Tea to Gin!






And our train awaits to wisk us away from the Coast!
