Best Western Hotel Bristol Newquay

We woke to a lovely sun rise, so it was out for a morning run and a few photos of the wonderful views before making our way over the causeway to St Michael's. The castle and grounds don't open till 10am, but you can only walk over the causeway at low tide. We scored the tide so we had until 12.30pm to see the castle and be able to walk back otherwise it would be underwater and the return would have to be by boat...if it was running.

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.

Time to continue our tour south, so we drive down to St Ives - a lovley harbour village. We splurge out on our first real Caravan Park.

After hooking up to the electricity we stuck a bottle of bubbles in the fridge. Then head out for a run around the town. Our caravan park is situated on a headland ontop of a hill overlooking the village. Great for the view but quite steep getting back from town. Down is ofcuorse always ...

We made out of the paddock without getting bogged, Phew!! Checked the internet last night and the surf looks like it will be good for the next 2 days. So our mission today is to get me some waves.

So we hug the coast but the swell is not big enough for the spots we pass to get going, so after grabbing a pasty and a ...

... fill the water tank up. Which we duely did and fired up the boiler for our first hot shower in the van. Apart from being a little cosy in there it worked like a dream. Being the only van in the padock had it's advantages... we could pick the best (flatest) spot and enjoy the peace and quite and a beautiful sunset as well as the light show which is the country night sky.

... Church in Lelant, with a brilliant reception in the gardens at Lanyon.

The location gave some inspiration too, with that corner of the country having seen plenty of travellers in its time. Uny (who founded the church), Ia (who founded St Ives), and Justus (after whom St. Just is named) all travelled there. We won ...

I almost forgot, woke this morning to beautiful sunshine.


Day two Friday.

I was just too busy yesterday to update the blog.

Why you might ask, well let me explain. I was busy sunning myself, reading and watching the wrinkle's, I guess I should include myself as a wrinkly cause I have spied someone around my age (35) and just relaxing doing next to nothing, I didn't believe it was possible for me to do nothing but I ...

... From there we walked down to the entrance of the castle, but as R was claiming death by starvation, we had to eat first. With our newfound energy, we joined the throng of people climbing the steps to the ...

... hit us in the face in relation to the living quarters, This one had swivel front seats that turned round (obviously) and joined the dining area hence making it possible for at least 6 people to sit round a table.
