The White Hart Inn very clean and efficient with seemingly all Polish staff.
Chris House created mayhem by trying to order 'White Wine' which to our knowledge he had never tasted before.

On to the Eden Project to see what had they had done since our last visit (2003).
New overhead walkway in the Rain Forest Biome and the completion of the 'Core' educational block.

No one brave enough to risk life and limb on the cross site Zip Wire.

Note the carried clothing after a trip in the roasting Rain Forest Biome !
Falmouth was busy as it was the annual Oyster Festival but the rather posh Merchants Manor Hotel wasn't.

Brian Banks brought along a hi-res copy of the 'Roll of Honour' but not the original which he holds.

The Cornish beer was as usual excellent whether it be St.Austell Brewery 'Tribute', Skinners range with 'Betty Stoggs' or 'Doom Bar'.

Rather windy ferry crossing to St.Mawes without Bob Oldershaw who went to the wrong quay. (But found his way later).

Excellent guided tour around Henry V111's St. Mawes Castle using hand held dictaphones.

Some most disappointed that the only Cornish Pasty stall in St. Mawes had run out of pasties.
All in all a most enjoyable weekend without a drop of rain.
