Cornwall II

I shall continue on my third day in Cornwall. I’m glad that the weather was good as we were planning to go to some beach area. We drove for about one and a half hours from Newquay to Lands End, which is the most westernly tip of the southern mainland of Great Britain. The Atlantic Ocean is just in front of us, and this is the first time I meet the Atlantic Ocean. Well, it was very windy and cold over here and it was a brave decision to remove our jacket to take a picture without the jacket! :p

Then, we used ‘B’ route to go to St Ives from Lands End. So, after this trip, I learned about how they number the roads in UK. Motorway (M) is the major highway. they usually number it as M1, M2, M3 etc...Before this, I tot M was something related to Manchester. haha. Then, they have ‘A’ road, ‘B’ road and minor roads. The ‘B’ road we took was so narrow and some parts could only allowed one car to pass through. By the way, the scenery along the way was really nice. The picture above, some very old buildings that we saw on our way to St Ives.

Beach in St Ives!!! Everyone on the beach is enjoying the sun!

We tot of buying some sandwiches and picnic on the beach, mana tau......A seagull attacked Li Ling’s sandwich after 1 bite! Aiyo...why the seagull so ganas 1?? The people on the beach were looking at us after we shouted on the top of our voice. Then, we terpaksa move to another place and hide our sandwich from the seagulls. Stupid seagulls ruined our planning of having nice lunch on the beach. They are now ranked as our top enemy!!!

It was warmer than the morning when we were at Lands End. But yet, the sea is damn cold. Well, we did not surf or swim in the sea, but busy snapping pictures. We actually snapped some funny pictures, but those pics are currently not with me. I think the ang moh sure feel very strange about all those funny poses we did. haha..

Next, St Michael’s Mount which is located in Marazion. It is owned by St Aubyn family and the island has a castle, a church, an ancient harbour, shops and restaurants.

As the picture suggested, we were at the Lizard Point. This is the southernmost tip of Great Britain. Again, what we did over here was just busy snapping pictures. :P

Tingtagel Castle, our last place-to-visit before we left Cornwall. Tingtagel Castle is the legendary birthplace of King Arthur and home of Merlin the magician. Visitors need to pay £4.20 as entrance fees. We were too lazy to climb up the hill and too stingy to pay for the entrance fees. So, we took pictures from far. Haha...the picture could still see the castle clearly rite?

Let’s have some Cornish ice-cream before we left! Nice? Hmm...not very special, but it’s a good try for real Cornish ice-cream in Cornwall where Cornish ice cream originated from.
