... of disappointed. Kim did get to see a seal though so she was happy about that, and she also got a photo infront of the most southerly cafe in Britain... Woo Whoo!!

Tomorrow we are going to the Eden Project so we wanted to find a place to stay near there. By the time we got there though it was dark and hard to find a suitable spot. We probably drove around for over an hour before we settled on a spot... We were not a happy bunnies!!!

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 ...

It was dead low tide first thing in the morning so nothing doing on the wave front. Kim and I go for a walk in Newquay town and take a few photos and do some shopping.

I almost forgot, woke this morning to beautiful sunshine.


Day two Friday.

I was just too busy yesterday to update the blog.

It had a huge area above the bed and he was throwing in a TV/DVD player, reversing camera which was set up with the TV, an awning attatchments with zip and then it was only 4 years old with 9,000 showing on the clock and proof that it was likely to be ...

... until 20.00, which was little less than 5 hours. I read John Peel's biography in a pub. Really I should've listened to the taxi driver getting me to the railway station in Par, saying it's, I quote: "tacky". I did have a best burger in a pub though.
