Sandwich: Too Good To Eat...

Day 8

Sunday 24th August

Today was probably our most interesting day. We set off from Falmouth wishing we could have stayed longer, but as soon as we arrived at Sandwich, we were completely entranced by the village. The streets were tree lined providing an ambient temperature, there were lots of incredibly old and historic buildings within a small area and it was as though the whole place had been planned like an American theme park, but it wasn't.

A relaxed walk round the village brought the time round to 1.00pm when all the museums opened. I had set my heart on visiting the Glass Museum and we were not disappointed. As well as an interesting demonstration of glass blowing, we were treated to a re-enactment of how life used to be courtesy of engaging holograms. There was even a short film about the history of the light bulb - all very interesting.
