Plymouth
May 13, 2012
Heading back toward town and my hotel, I passed through a seedy section of shops which didn't seem to fit the area.
The spooky looking Royal Eye Infirmary. Are there that many eye problems?
Over a door. Here's another thing I didn't know - that Drake renamed the Pelican to Golden Hind during a voyage. (I would have thought renaming a ship might be considered bad luck.)
Charles Church burned during the war but the shell is kept as a memorial.
Armada Way passes through the main shopping area. Between the big screen (this was before the London Olympics, remember) and the Guildhall on the left is Royal Parade, a main street.
Back at the Promenade, the race was still on and continued until well after suppertime. I went to Dutton's on the water for fish ‘n’ chips and mushy peas.
