The Glendeveor Newquay

... br>
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 ...

... YUM!!!

To work that off we took the long way back to our van via the coastal nature walk. Although still warm the clouds started to close in which seemed quite appropriate fo the scene.

We we got back to the van it started drizzling with rain. It continued off and on for the rest of the day.

... 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!!

... to fill the holes in our stomaches we decide that Newquay is the best bet.

We arrive at about 10am and the find a spot with views from the south to north of Fistral beach. The tides just starting to come in and the waves are head high without a breath of wind... bliss!!!

I can't get into my wetsuit quick ...

It was getting late after all our super day of sightseeing. The plan was to spend the night in a caravan park somewhere by the ocean, and fill up the water in the van, have a hot shower and relax.

The park we were set on was to our uneducated ears, expensive at £22, after all, we are only parking on their land and using a few of their facilities... and we are on a ...

... that there will always be at least one doctor on board our trains.

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

We also wanted to use this first post to thank everyone for coming to our various leaving parties and wishing us well - your kindness will add fuel to our fire as we go.

... now he was here n Looe. He said he had heard from Frank and he was in France and it was so hot there! He told Steve they must meet up on their travels this time before they follow the sun to a brighter climate. Now they couldn't decide between them who was going to make the contact as to when and where they would meet, it was decided one of the would either way they would meet, their words not mine. I wonder if they will meet up, probably not as they couldn't decide ...

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



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

... least the Hyundai appears to fit into the funky style of car and with the basic red (refused to pay for metallic when there seemed to be no neglible difference) and air conditioning which I am far too tight to use. Anyway I digress.........
The motorhome:
We thought £15000 would sort us out with a relatively nice van still with loads of life left in it and reasonable mileage. The father in law has been motorhoming for about 20 years so we had good advice from ...

... couple of card games and where hanging out. I had cheese soup and bread its quite good. Then after a bit we all decided to do our own thing. Tommoro we head off for Lands end and exploring Cornwall in places most dont get to go. Looking out at the Cornwall Coast is amazing. Thier is so much history its almost overwhelming. Im heading off to bed exausted and i think im finally adjusted to the time here its about time. I love it and its truly my dream trip of a lifetime :) Diana
