Cornwall – Hobbit House and Surfing

Arrived at Dales place and was given the option of a free upgrade to the Sheppard Huts or the Gypsy Wagon. But I had my mind set on the Hobbit house so decided to stick with that.

We had a few fire’s using our very own fire-pit which was great fun and a nice source of heat as it got late into the night. The place had its own BBQ and mini kitchen with the basics including some fridge space. Everything seemed to be well thought out and very quirky.

Dale gave us directions for Knill’s Monument which was about 5 minutes away as well the direction to Halsetown Inn, here we sampled some cocktails and Michelin recommended food.

Did the touristy bits and visited the local town St Ives. Picked up a new lense for my camera which should cover everything I need for my future travel plans also got a travel tripod.

Dales other half Kat supplied us with some surf lessons we had a fantastic time even managed to stand up a few times and will now be looking for a surf place closer to home. Kat was really friendly and knew her stuff which made it very easy to learn.

So on the way back home a quick detour to Adrenalin Quarry to try out the swing and zip line.

Cornwall – Pendennis Castle

Just got to Cornwall Falmouth, checked in to Tregenna Guest House then out to the local Wetherspoons (classy) which was called The Packet Station here to test the new order and pay app, this app was pretty awesome, upon using the app we waited a maximum of about 3 minutes every time and then the drinks would be delivered, this is a lazy persons dream. Then because you cant stay in Wetherspoons all night we went to the local Irish bar Finn McCouls as with most Irish bars the atmosphere was fantastic everyone was dancing and singing, generally having a good time.

Wake up and have the cooked breakfast and off to Pendennis Castle spent some time walking around the castle, checking out the guns, then my favorite part watching the pirate show by Time Capsule Education. Who doesn’t like watching pirates blow up cabbages with canons?

Then off to the second location Truro staying at the Manning hotel, had dinner at Kathmandutruro a nice Indian and Nepalese food place the Everest Chicken was so tasty along with the Gurkha beer.
