Walls
The walls besides of the street are often full of flowers, and made in a beautiful way, it's a joy to cycle along them :)

Crabbing
You may think I'm making fun with you, but I don't. Catching crabs is serious business in England, a pastime I've never seen in any other country I've been. I tried to look up the german word for crabbing but, there ain't even a translation for it :)
What you need is a bait bag or a ringnet, the bait itself and a bucket for your crabs. In former times the people walked along the shore looking under the stones for the crabs. Or they used bread or a piece of makerel as bait, but even the crabs has become gourmets. Nowadays the mostly used bait is - no wonder, we are in England - bacon. And as I learned yesterday, the trickiest bait is bacon with a drop of fishsauce. I saw the results, five crabs in one net, incredible!
So, go to your next harbour, take you some time and do some crabbing, you will for sure have a lot of fun for the next hours. But, one thing, don't eat them, just throw them into the water again after your bucket has gone full. Then you'll be able to catch the same crabs the next day again :)

Looe
The next day started with bright sunshine. My neighbours Matt and Jo invited me to tea, a toasted croissant and a nice chat in the morning. Thank you for that! So as it was time for packing, my tent was dry, the first time since days :) The tour for the day was short, after only roundabout 12 miles I arrived at Looe, which you can watch on this webcam.
