Hey, sorry I've not wrote in an age, but I've been mega busy and for two weeks without the Internet-whilst I've been on holiday-and now I've been busy dealing with the aftermath of holiday-before it was the preparations-and also sorting out a few other things. More on that later. Firstly, though I've 11 followers now! So I'm mega happy! But what they say about blogs is true, it does take a long time to get anywhere so everyone keep up the blogging!
My holiday this year was in Cornwall, on the opposite side to where we went to a few years back. so on the like east coast I think. We were camping in a tent seconds from a beach at a place called Pentwen Sands. It was mega nice there! They have a cool new swimming pool and restaurant/bar with night time entertainments. The campsite wasn't busy either-the kids had yet to break for the summer-so we had enough time to relax. Though there was very little of this in the first week!
I want to write about a blog about my holiday, so I'll just briefly go into the places we went to here and then hopefully I'll start a new blog soon. We visited lots of towns around where we were camped. Most of them are harbour towns, which are really pretty and often don't get a lot of people through them. St Austell and Mevagissey where the closet places to the campsite. Both were pretty cool and had good shops.
In the first week we went to The Lost Gardens of Heligan on Monday, which are mega cool! There's just so much to see and do and the name is so fitting. I liked the woodland walk best and seeing the mud maiden, took so cool photos too. On Tuesday we went to Land's End and did all the shows which included a 4D movie, Dr Who experience and a farm, where I met a baby goat and really wanted to take him home! We went to the Eden Project on Wednesday and I'd recommend that everyone go and visit that! The whole idea of it is just mind-blowing and there's so much to learn about the nature around us which is so fascinating. On Thursday we went to Fowley where we explored the town before doing a self drive boat tour around Fowley harbour. On Friday we went to Charlestown and the shipwreck museum. we also saw the tall ships, including the one Alice sails away on in Alice and Wonderland. Saturday saw us heading to the sea festival at loos and stopping at Polperro on the way home.
Sunday was the opening of the second week and we decided to take it easy and chill out on the local beach. On Monday we went to two sister castles, Mawes and Pendennis which were built by Henry VIII to defend the coast. Tuesday we hit Newquay and Buccaneer's bay, but were forced home because of the heavy rain. The weather was still bad on Wednesday, so we went to another castle-Restormal and the village of LostWithiel, we also popped into Eden again on the way home to use the free tickets. Thursday was still wet, so went to the China Clay works and on Friday we went gift shopping in Mevagissey. We left on Saturday but stopped at Bodim and visited the jail, court room experience and the Jamaican inn.
Overall it was a fun holiday, seen lots and done lots! Now I just have to write it up in my holiday blog.
