always have a laugh. but i dont know how to tell him i like him and i dont
know how he will react. but i am not bothered that much even though i
am like in love with him. oh well
Firstly, sorry for the delay- I'm having difficulties getting on line with my netbook. WILL TRY TO ADD PHOTOS SOON!
Woke to beautiful blue skies then, after saying goodbye to Rob, who's work takes him all around Europe, Ann dropped us off at the car hire joint at Gatwick Airport and we climbed aboard the Hyundai i30.
First stop along the M23 etc was Stonehenge, freezing cold ...
... chapel (well, ruins of) which dates from around 1000AD, and the castle itself was established around 1233AD. After a walk around the windy headland, we headed for Newquay, which is a popular town/beach for surfing. My favourite part of Newquay was definitely the house on top of the tor with it's own suspension bridge!
It was a shopping and driving day today. We went for a bit of an impromptu tour around the Bodmin Moor area (didn't see the beast unfortunately) and then went to a big department store called Trago Mills where I bought a big road map for when I get a job driving around Europe.
Not much else to report for today, but we did see a cool scooter with thousands of mirrors and a tail!
For our first full day away, we did some shopping in the morning, then went for a walk around Looe, a small seaside town. Looe was mainly based on the fishing trade, but also had quite a lot of shops to browse.
We saw quite a few people fishing for crabs, using a small mesh bag with some bait on a line, and it was amazing at how quickly the crabs were being picked up...20-30 seconds was enough in some ...
For my next trip I was off to Cornwall in the South West for a week with my Nan, aunties Jeanette and Marion and uncle Roland. We stayed at Lakeview Villas, about a 5 minute drive out of Liskeard.
Today we drove down from London, and aside from a bit of a holdup at Bath, it was a smooth drive down.
... Walkabout (she normaly hates walkies... either the couple of pints or the lack of mental exercise has made her brain soft). Anyway we had another beer there. The best thing about the place is the view of the beach and the free wifi. We both lost our heads and ordered food which was edible but nothing to get excited about and then watched the free movie they put on the big screen.
Newquay, England, United Kingdom darrenhough74... different to the outside temperature which is a testiment to the great day we had.
The Tropical Biome was great, just like being in an Asian or Central American rainforest - hot and humid. Lots of familar plants here as we have spent alot of time in the tropics - it felt very authentic except for the lack of animals... I half expected an orangutan or howler monkey to appear in the trees. This really got us excited about our trip to Central America early next ...
... and Kim is content to laze about in the sun 18-20 degrees and not a cloud inthe sky - hard to believe it is mid-october.
Kim found a nice coastal walk to keep her occupied while I was happy as a pig in sh!t scoring waves.
Exhausted we found a spot to park a street or 2 from the beach front to spend the night.
Dropped off at Lands End by 1st support team Nic. Sunshine and backwind got us off to a good start. Clare joined us near Penzance where we cycled past a wind surfing contest overlooking St Michaels mount. Hills galore especially on way into Bodmin where we were stopped by Nic asking for directions!
