Me and Fleur went to Cornwall for a romantic weekend together - with 53 others! Cornwall is lovely, although the trip was a coach trip from Hell!!
Firstly it took 9 hours to get there, not the expected 6. The air con on the coach only had two settings - ON or OFF. So we were either super hot or frozen!
Then when we got to our hostel at 2am, the staff were having a party that went on all night. The bass! The bass!!! I just couldn't' sleep, so moved rooms. Thank God!!
The next day we had a free day in Newquay and then a BBQ. Unfortunately, when we went back to our rooms to change for the BBQ we found signs telling us that the boiler had broken and so our ensuite toilets and showers didn't work!! There were the toilets in the bar and one in the basement. Fantastic. Especially when your room is on the top floor, it's 5am and you're desperate!!!
On Sunday we went to St Ives, Lands End, St Michaels Mount and the Minac Outdoor Theatre. It was a good day and great sightseeing. The coast is lovely! However, when we got back to the hostel, the boiler was still broken.
On Monday, we were on our way back, with a short trip to Tintagel - which may have some kind of King Arthur connection. It's ruins up on the cliffs. Really nice up there.
Not so nice in the bus though!! 55 people who haven't showered in 2 days, but have done a lot of walking up hills and round towns!!! Fantastic!
The first thing I did when I got home was have a shower. A LONG, hot shower. So good!!!!
