From Hayle we drove up the coast to Perranporth, where we are staying at the Perran Sands campsite.

It was a short drive of 30 minutes so we had time to explore the coastal town of Perranporth. We walked the high street, beach and caves. Once arrive at the campsite we spent the rest of the day at the pool on the campsite, Nadine writing postcards. At evening it was rainings for the first time this vacation, we tarped ourselves in and did not mind the weather.
