New member of the family, a Granddaughter

Our newest family member Kacie.

Short stay down Cornwall way. 25 / 28-07-11

The walk to the castle is well worth 
the hassle.
This is the view from the Castle 
at Tintagel.
Looking north east
 Looking west
 A blow hole (middle of picture)
 It is a beautiful place but not one for the faint hearted.
Its a steep climb from the buildings down in the valley bottom.
There is a small bay where you can swim as well.
 This shows how steep the steps are climbing up the cliff 
side to get to the top.
 In the back ground is the main castle ruins.
This shot was taken from a smaller castle 
the climb up to here is even harder.
 We also popped over to Falmouth.
The water here was crystal clear.
 This Royal Fleet Auxiliary vessel was just leaving the docks
after some engineering works and a repaint. 
What a lovely short break I had with my 
Brother.
Thanks for the invite Mike.
