Newquay has been home for the past month and a half. We have ventured out to Scotland the Canaries and other parts of England always returning back with a sense of homecoming. We haven't written about Newquay yet because much of our time here has become comfortable routine sleeping in surfing biking running Rachel... and enjoying the gorgeous views of the coast. Oh yeah.. and e http://www.travelblog.org//Europe/United-Kingdom/England/Cornwall/Newquay/blog-328614.html Taking a gamble with the weather and a random Kiwi I took some time out for what worked out to be a week full of beach hopping partying and camping It all started when I picked Richie up from the airport and brought him back to the lovely Garden of England. We spent the next couple days checking out some of the local Kentish taverns a trip out to the beach of Whistable and headed to Canterbu http://www.travelblog.org//Europe/United-Kingdom/England/Cornwall/Newquay/blog-312323.html Hey YaWoke up to a beautiful day in Newquay sun was shining and all was good. Newquay is a very hip surfing town with loads of young people everywhere. Nads and I pretty much spent the day looking around all the surf shops and managed to pick up a few nice summer gears for the rest of the trip. It was really just a nice chilled day in the sun with no driving involved which was good. http://www.travelblog.org//Europe/United-Kingdom/England/Cornwall/Newquay/blog-285920.html Whanne that April with his shoures soteThe droughte of March hath perced to the roteAnd bathed every veine in swiche licouretc. etc.So priketh hem nature in hir coragesThat longen folk to gon on pilgrimages...And specially from every shire endeOf Englelond to ST.

Thank God we didn't care much about our appearances because the wind completely turned our hair into something that resembled brids nests but we took many pictures along the way. Sometimes we travelled the coast and other times we travelled inland with a scenery that loo http://www.travelblog.org//Europe/United-Kingdom/England/Cornwall/Newquay/blog-271892.html I stayed in a Caravan just outside Newquay with Mummy Daddy and Sofia.Sofia threw up in the car. The first night we went to the mini disco and we saw MAXI he was a kind of alien person.On the first day we went to the seaside Crantock Beach. I collected some shells and stones for Nona. I ran away from the sea but I got caught and me and daddy got wet. We went in some caves that were dark and s http://www.travelblog.org//Europe/United-Kingdom/England/Cornwall/Newquay/blog-271890.html Here are some pictures of our Trip in Newquay. Newquay is located on the south west coast of England. It was a threefour hour drive from our house. The weather was really nice but COLD and very windy. We spent a lot of time driving around. Our favourite stops were St. Ives Lands End kind of cheesy but nice coastal walk and The Lizard. The Lizard was my favourite because it was the most s http://www.travelblog.org//Europe/United-Kingdom/England/Cornwall/Newquay/blog-270869.html Travelling UK styleOK we've finally got round to sorting this blog out. This one is about Cornwall but is actually being written in Kynsna in South AfricaCornwall was great. We spent 4 nights in a lovely villa in Porth just outside of Newquay with Lynne's Mum and Dad. It was a great way to wind down after work and prepare for a life of not doing very much. We did manage to see quite a bit http://www.travelblog.org//Europe/United-Kingdom/England/Cornwall/Newquay/blog-267138.html Newquay http://www.travelblog.org//Europe/United-Kingdom/England/Cornwall/Newquay/blog-218339.html So much left to do Okay so were on our last course of Injections now Rabies and Japanese B encephilitus. Eek We have two more of each and also Cholera and Meningitis ACWY or something like that The only injection that has hurt so far was the Hep B it had a slightly stinging sensation and a rather sore incision by the travel clinic nurse We have our backpacks sleeping bags and day packs http://www.travelblog.org//Europe/United-Kingdom/England/Cornwall/Newquay/blog-201394.html Finally we have heard back from Airpets and have been told that my dogs now have their import permits and a place in quarantine in Perth. We have to drop them off at the Airpets kennels just outside Heathrow on the 5th November and they fly out on the 6th November and will land in Perth the next day. So seeing as though the dogs are more organised than myself I have now started looking at flight http://www.travelblog.org//Europe/United-Kingdom/England/Cornwall/Newquay/blog-195877.html No text sorry http://www.travelblog.org//Europe/United-Kingdom/England/Cornwall/Newquay/blog-192467.html Of all the flights I have purchased in the past eleven months none have been as disastrous as my trip to Newquay thanks to Ryanair Don'tgetyou there. Sorry it has been so long since I updated my blog but I returned home unexpectedly early and have spent the last three months in France with my mum.On Tuesday 19th I flew from Limoges to Stansted intending to catch the evening flight to Newquay http://www.travelblog.org//Europe/United-Kingdom/England/Cornwall/Newquay/blog-171868.html Just back from a great 4 day tour of South West England so am going to combine it all into one neat little package for you all Monday Left Karens place with my small pack in tow at 6 an headed on the tube to Victoria Station. Found place no problems on Vauxhill Bridge Road. This trip is totally diffferent to the Scottish less hiking more motorway driving but still good.

The University has a big sustainable building program including a new masters degree in sustainable construction and I'd arranged to meet and chat with the program director. Coincidentally they were celebrating the 10th anniversary of the program that night with http://www.travelblog.org//Europe/United-Kingdom/England/Cornwall/Newquay/blog-108832.html We arrived at Newquay about 1pm and drove out to Pentire Point East where we went for a walk along the peninsula. The rugged rocks were making a white swirling mess of the clean waves coming in to shore. A some what similar notion appeared to be happening between the wind and my hair. We drove into the town centre for a walk around and saw a sign for a backpackers on the other side of the bay. W http://www.travelblog.org//Europe/United-Kingdom/England/Cornwall/Newquay/blog-98108.html Last Friday I went over to my mate Waynersquos house where Emily and I spent a couple of hours chilling out.

And I needed to smell the sea. http://www.travelblog.org//Europe/United-Kingdom/England/Cornwall/Newquay/blog-83694.html What better to do on a long bank weekend than visit the aids capital of the UKThe forecast for rainy rain was thankfully a bit wrong even got sunburnt summer not over yetTook a long bus ride there about 8 hours stayed in a hostel above belushi's had a great view over the water made seeing sunrise easy and complusary considering we had no curtains.Spent the first day just hanging round in http://www.travelblog.org//Europe/United-Kingdom/England/Cornwall/Newquay/blog-83585.html Wow I can't beleive I've been back for nearly 2 months. It feels like I haven't been home for 6 months. Staight back into the humdrum life of work and now study. I've returned to study at Kingston University which at the moment I'm wondering if it was one of my brightest decissions due to the amount of work I've got to do. Oh well I know that lovely peice of paper at the end will pay off. Ove http://www.travelblog.org//Europe/United-Kingdom/England/Cornwall/Newquay/blog-54358.html After six months of the freezing winter and in my whitest state ever I was totally keen for the beach .............so a boys weekend to Newquay at the South West of England was the call ...... .......

Only about a dozen of us made it out last night. As all group dynamics go especially when we don't really know one another all that well it took forever to make a decision on where to go. It was narrowed down to the Walkabout or Belushi's which is at http://www.travelblog.org//Europe/United-Kingdom/England/Cornwall/Newquay/blog-19281.html Going to Land's EndLooking for some stacked stonesAre we there yet CaiMorning start at 830 seems a bit late to me now but at least I can take my time getting ready in the morning. One good thing about this hostel is that they always provide breakfast.
