Yey! Spring is coming, finally…
and to celebrate that, the girls and me have decided to go to the beach!
Well, I would say our journey started in a
little pub in London where we’ve been drinking the best cider I`ve had in a
while (Rekorderlig, strawberry-lime) , discussing what might espect us. Next
thing I know we are sitting in a bus heading towards Cornwall. The bloody
nightbus was just horrible! No space at all, the most uncomfortable seats and
all that for the next 10 hours. We all know what that means: sleepless night!
Yey!
Luckily we are all still young and
therefore after at least brushing our teeth in the nearest coffee shop the next
morning we were ready to start our first-day-trip!
We took a bus from Penzanze (where we
arrived) to Porthcourno to see the coast and an old english theatre which was built
out of the cliff rocks and just looked breathtaking. After that we took a taxi
to Lands End where we ended up in the tourist shop fooling around because
everything we wanted to see we either had to pay for , was just tourist crap,
or,well, both.
Time was running incredibly fast, because
now its been time for our preplanned-huge-tasty-yammy-dinner and a little walk
through St. Ives where we also had our overnight accomodation.
Weaking
up the next morning felt like a dream. The smell of freshly made pancakes was
in the air, we all slept very well (out of a little incident in the middle oft
he night :D ) and the weather seemed to
be pretty good! Our plan was now to walk to a cottage on a hill near the coast and then go to Meracion where you
can actually walk on a little path through the sea to get to a tiny island where there is an
old castle we wanted to visit. After that we took some time to just relax at
the sunny beach before heading home. This time with a train (!).
The whole weekend was just awesome and I do
highly recommend everyone to go to Cornwall at least once in a lifetime. You
just wouln’t think of that when you think of England, because it felt more like
beeing in some summertime vacation paradise! It seems like the UK has a lot
more to offer than everyone including me is thinking.
What I just want to say in the end is: THANK
YOU! Michelle, Anja & Katy! Without your planning talents and well, simply without all of you it would have never ever been
that great, unforgettable and that much
fun! And I would probably still be there because i got lost :D…
