Backpackering 6 - Day 10

 

Babbacombe Miniature Village.

The site is set in a valley leading down to coast and is more akin now, after 60 years development, to a miniature city.

From a modern GWR train

to climate activists for the grown up visitors to connect with,

like,

our current housing crisis.

But not all so serious, thankfully. 😂

The inside exhibition has 12th scale models you can get close too. 

Backpackering 6 - Day 9

 The walk up to Truro's station,

to board a very swish GWR train to Torquay via Newton Abbot.

A short walk for,

lunch - nasi goreng for me and flatbread with chicken on skewer.

Backpackering 6 - Day 8

A visit to Truro's Victoria Gardens,

to enjoy,

the peace and quiet on our rest day.

Backpackering 6 - Day 7

 

Falmouth harbour with Royal Navy ships. 

A view from the headland.

Old port defences.

With Jacob and Toby, the reason for our visit.
