Thursday August 13th: Day in Plymouth

Today was a day of enjoying and photographing around Plymouth. We walked along the harbour and light house. Then headed into the Elizabethan area of Plymouth. Followed by fish and chips for lunch and time off this afternoon to explore and relax.

Some of the group got together at the hotel and spent some time reviewing digital file management and Adobe Lightroom during our free time this afternoon. Followed by some pub time and a beautiful dinner in the hotel dinning room.

Tomorrow we visit The Castle on the Mount, Lands End and St.Ives, Cornwall. Enjoy todays selection of images. 

We will start with this video of a flash mob of energetic kids who were promoting a play they were preforming in for the next three nights.

Due to a server failure on August 19th, 2015 we have had to restore the last 5 days of our England Blog. This was done as of August 20th, 2015 so you can see all the great places we experience while on our tour but unfortunately all the blog comments were lost. We apologize to all the folk that took time to leave comments while we were on tour as we appreciate hearing from home as we travel.

Thanks

James
