Beresford Hotel Newquay

We made it off the island just in time... we had to take our shoes off and wade accross the causeway... this is probably the closest I will get Kim to going into the Atlantic in the North hemisphere.

Next stop was the Lizard peninsular, the guide book said if you made the effort to go here then you would be rewarded. Unfortunately it was very similar to the rest of the coastline we had seen over the previous days so we were ...

We spent the morning wandering around St Ives.

It is a beautiful village full of art gallaries and narrow streets.

All the walking around made us hungry.

How could I pass up the opportunity for a hearty Beef and Stilton Pasty.

Kim equally splurged on Cornish Cream Scones and coffee ...

... but coming back is the hard part after running for 40 min already.

But what we discoverd on our run is a quaint and picturesque little place worthy of a much closer inspection than a run by allows.

However, that would have to wait till tomorrow as it was sunset by the time we made it back up the hill to the van and we had champers to drink. Why? What is the special occasion? Well, we're on holidays of course so why the hell not!!

Next stop is Cologne from where we take the sleeper to Vienna.

... as a wrinkly? All answers to team ceri!!!

Not been out and about yet think I will just chill out today and have some relaxing, seem to have been on the go for months and think I am paying the price now as I feel so tired and have black circles around my eyes, yes just like a panda!! Not a nice sight I can tell you so no there wont be any photo's.

I might even have a go at trying to sort out the sat dish today. I am planning to use our new BBQ today to ...

... and mediterranean climate, as well as several cafes.



In the center was a large tent, which houses ...

The boys got a chance to meet some other second cousins today, as we met MrG's cousin A and her girls in the center of the town and coerced them into going into King Arthur's Great Hall (sorry A) where ...

... then went to another local one which was 23 foot long U shape end permanent dining area and overhead bed. They wanted £15,000 and I offered £14,000 on the proviso that I was awaiting a yes from the Nationwide. During the intervening period the wife decided that 23 foot was too long but 20 foot was fine. She has previously never driven anything beyond the length of a Peugeot 806 so how this thought process came into her mind only her and her parents (please see above ...
