Easter 2015 at Cornwall - day 2: St Michaels Mount, Truro, Mevagissey

Last year we only passed through Penzance on our way from Land's End to the Eden Project. This year we were out of luck to find accomodation there, but instead we parked at Marazion and walked there along South West Coast Path.
The main attraction there is St. Michaels Mount - that day (Saturday) there was no access for visitors, nevertheless large numbers were crossing the causeway.

The 2 mile walk to Penzance was nice, but I struggle to imagine following long stretches of coast path - permanent blue on one side and green on the other must affect mental health :) The town itself did not impressed, and when we decided to have some fish - we failed to find any! Nearly desperate, already on our way to the bus station (walking back along the coast would drive me crazy :) we found Renaissance Cafe - recommended for good food and nice views.

We had quite long way to our next overnight stay, so only stoped for a short break at Truro.

Our destination was Mevagissey - another (typical?) port village on the coast, very picteresque and full of character.

We were lucky to find that The King's Arms pub was running local craft beer festival. I'm not exactly sure whether we managed through the whole list (quite likely), but it was, together with wonderful atmosphere there, definitely fantastic experience. The most curious example was 'Oyster Stout': remastered using genuine Fal oysters and their shells: the calcium in the oyster shels replaces the need for finings, making a clear dark stout. Fal oysters are gathered under sail and oar up the river Fal.

On our way we also visited The Ship Inn, which will be remembered forever for gorgeous barmaid (quote: 'I could become bisexual for her'), with tears of goodbye flushed with Bloody Mary - that remembered for half of the next day :)
