Lisa: UK Trip, Day 4
6/14
I felt much better the next morning, and we headed off on the tour bus for Cornwall!
So far we have seen a few more Neolithic stone things (Lanyon Quoit
and Men-an-Tol)
and even participated in an "ancient" fertility ritual!
We're eating lunch on a beach near Land's End--it's so beautiful here.
It's a bit cold for swimming, but sitting the beach in a hoodie with my shoes off is just about perfect.
After lunch on the beach, we walked along the cliffs
to Land's End and took our pictures next to the flagpole.
Then we got back on the bus and headed to St. Ives, a quaint little fishing village with tons of gray stone townhouses.
It was packed with tourists, but we managed to cram into a little restaurant for an authentic Cornish Cream Tea (a pot of tea, two scones, clotted cream, and jam). After our tea, we headed back to the hostel in Newquay.
