Sunday 15th<\/sup> September<\/strong><\/h2>\n

So, we had decided to stay one day in Padstow.<\/p>\n

The weather is still nice.<\/p>\n

\"Glorious<\/a>

Glorious weather in Padstow<\/p><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

Eric and I tackle one of the other problems on the boat: water seeps through the deck hatch of the forward cabin.
\nThe repair consists of letting a miracle product flow along the joint, in order to plug the leak. The result seems conclusive, Bruno and Christian can finally sleep dry!<\/p>\n

The two brothers, for their part, devote themselves to their activity, if not favorite, at least repetitive: food shopping.<\/p>\n

After the meal, we take the bus to the seaside town of Newquay<\/strong><\/em>.
\nThis decision is not the result of chance. It turns out that Bruno and Christian had been there in their youth during a hitchhiking road trip, back in 1973.<\/p>\n

But this pilgrimage has a specific objective: to taste a Knickerbockerglory<\/strong><\/em>, a very elaborate ice cream of which they have an imperishable memory and which Christian absolutely insists on making us taste.<\/p>\n

\"In<\/a>

In the bus to Newquay<\/p><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

The bus ride is a change from navigation, we admire the surrounding landscape and hold our breath when the bus passes other vehicles on the narrow roads of the Cornish countryside.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"A<\/a>

A morale of steel!<\/p><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The sky has clouded over, occasionally showering us with a light rain, which doesn’t discourage us in the least.<\/span><\/div>\n
We maintain unwavering morale, focused on our quest for the famous ice cream marvel.<\/span><\/div>\n

This mission <\/span>will take us through the streets of Newquay, and on pretty paths along the coves, among the broom and the beautiful houses.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Newquay<\/a>

Newquay harbour<\/p><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

But not a shadow of any Knickerbockerglory<\/em>!<\/p>\n

Despite several inquiries with the locals: “Where can you eat a Knickerbockerglory in Newquay ?<\/em>“, we have to make do with ordinary ice cream sundaes, swallowed at top speed so as not to miss the last bus to Padstow.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"The<\/a>

The friendly pianist at the Harbour Inn<\/p><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

These wanderings could only end with a good meal in a Padstow pub.
\nWe choose the Harbour Inn<\/strong><\/em>, where we have the pleasure of dining with the accompaniment of a dynamic and friendly pianist, who to Christian’s great joy knows all the Beatles’ songs.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

But the height of the story…<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

…is that the dessert menu includes… the famous Knickerbockerglory<\/em><\/strong>!
\nUnfortunately, to Christian’s great disappointment, our stomachs are already too full and we cowardly give up on living this unique experience.<\/p>\n

A heavy downpour accompanies us as we return to spend the night on Paradox.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n
