Eileen, Noel and I spent Easter in Cornwall District. It is 5hrs drive South-West of London. We stayed in the City of Newquay where the locals are chilled out and laid back. The West coast probably has one of the best beaches in England. The first tourist attraction was the Holywell fun park where we raced karts and played mini-putt. The rental vehicle was probably the ugliest car I have ever seen in my life. It’s like a station wagon but not, like a mini-van but not, it also had uneven windows that didn’t flow. UGLY! Next was St Michael’s Mount which is a tiny, rocky Island with a medieval castle then it was onto Land’s End. This is the most Western part of England with beautiful rocky views. Every year, numerous people travel the 874 miles from Land’s End to John O'Groat; which is the most Northern tip of UK. Whether it is run, bike, drive or even unicycle. I’m a bit lazy to tell more about the trip as we covered so much; pics will be posted instead.
Oh the fish and chips in this region were brilliant. A famous seafood chef by the name of Rick Stein lives in Padstow which we also visited. Everything was fresh and pure. Over the long weekend, we drove about 800 miles.
I’m off to watch Arsenal vs Chelsea in the FA Cup semi-finals at Wembley this weekend. Will be an experience of a lifetime.
I have again been denied access to upload videos to google, this has now been transferred to Microsoft SkyDrive.
