... we nevertheless enjoyed a stroll around the steep streets of the town and after a drink at the Golden Lion decided on "The Old School House", built in 1875, for our room for the night. After passing the religous studies room we were ushered into the english room with commanding views over the fishing boats in the harbour. Looking forward to sampling some of the local seafood tonight.

... 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.

... 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.

... arrive. It was a gorgeous day with the morning mist clearing to reveal clear blue skys... were we really still in the UK? The project is made of us 3 biomes (Mediteranian, Tropical Rainforest and outside gardens) and the Core which is really an education centre.
The Med Biome gave us an insight into the types of plants (both food and wild) we would be encountering over the next few months in Italy, Spain, Morroco and Portugal. The temperature in this biome was not ...
