Here is the second road trip. We started out on Friday afternoon from Weybridge (A) and spent the night in Wincanton (B). The next day we left at 7 AM and thanks to traffic we did not make it to St. Ives (C) until 11:30 AM. On the way back we drove down to Land's End (about 30 minutes from St. Ives) and then did the entire 267 miles in one go.
Cornwall is absolutely lovely! It took us forever to get here but we are here! This doesn't really have anything to do with Richard III, it is just a get away with the family. It had been raining for the past three days so imagine my surprise when we arrived in St. Ives Cornwall at 11 AM to have our surf lesson and the sun was shining without a cloud in the sky! I even managed to stand up! I was super excited. We walked around the quaint cobble stone alleys of the town, ate authentic Cornish pasties, and went shopping.We all needed (and deserved) the sun and beach after the winter we had. Today we spent all day on the beach surfing, soaking up the sun and wearing sweaters because it was freezing!!! I was very proud of myself because despite my gingerness I did not get a sunburn. We stayed for two nights and then traveled down to Land's End in the pouring rain to visit the southern most point in the UK. Overall it was tons of fun and had nothing to do with learning. Back to the real work...
