We had a fantastic time in Cornwall. It was a very well deserved break that both Jon and I felt was much needed.
I don’t have the time to write a full account on everything we did with much detail (back to the old busy routine, I am afraid), so I will try to keep it simple and do this on “status update” style…
- The journey down to Cornwall has been much more pleasant now that Jon has fixed the aircon in the beemer.. Gosh, was it hot or what!
- I’m loving the hundreds of yellow rapeseed fields on the way down to Cornwall!
- The bikes are full of dead mosquitoes! Must have been Jon’s speed down the single carriageways behind tractors that did it…
- Mmmm… Lovely apartment. Well equiped. Great views. Fantastic location. HOWEVER. What’s that smell? Damp!
- I love watching the sunrise from the balcony in the apartment. The sun comes up from almost behind St Michael’s mount and it’s the most beautiful scene I’ve seen in a long time.

- On our bikes.. and go! Great day in Marazion. The bike ride was easy enough and the place is great. A tiny bit disappointed with my Crab Linguini lunch. I could see the linguini, however the crab was a bit spare.
- My bum hurts. I’m not used to the bike’s seat. And still, off we go again to Hayle with our bikes (on the train there first though)
- Oh oh… The map we are following is not to scale and the distance that looked like only 3 or 3.5 miles is actually much longer. And “coastal path” doesn’t necessarily mean that the way is suitable for bikes!
We left the coastal path and made it to the beach
- No, it doesn’t look like we’ll make it to St Ives today.
- The best Steak and Ale pie with chips that I’ve ever eaten in my entire life… mmmm… (@ Old Quay House, Hayle)
- Cornish ice cream is awesome. The ice cream parlour in Penzance rocks! (@ Willy Wallers)
- Land’s End has disappointed me a bit. I was expecting an actual rock standing out where the infamous mile sign would be.
I still smiled for the picture 
- Oh bejesus.. The route that the sat nav has taken to St Ives was just simply ridiculous. At least we have managed to park the car safely-ish.
- Proper sea food for lunch in St Ives (@ Alba Restaurant)
- Worst day to come to Newquay. It’s cloudy and chilly. Still, I really enjoyed the beach chillout watching the surfers and the weirdo building the most rubbish sand castle ever.
- Eden Project is awesome to photograph. The biomes look amazing against the blue sky!
It was a lovely day.. so sunny and no clouds!
- I’m dying here inside the tropical biome. It must be around 35 degrees and I’m not dressed accordingly! Sweat, sweat, sweat.
- Mmmm… nice 15 minute back massage in the mediterranean biome. Thanks Jon, I needed that.
- Up early to see the Royal Wedding. Gosh, I love weddings . Fascinated by some of the fascinators. And can’t believe the bridesmaid is wearing THAT dress!
- okay, maybe waving the Union Jack in the streets of Cornwall wasn’t the best idea. These people are very Cornish!
The infamous Union Jacks
- Back home a few hours early. A good decision… Three more days off!
And that’s it. I can’t wait to go back to Cornwall soon! There are still so many more things to see and do!
