The Easter Weekend saw Ben and I travel and explore the beauty of Cornwall. We arrived in St Ives at lunchtime on Friday to see the Brits enjoying the sunshine and the beach - for me it was still too cold and I was definitely the odd one out wearing my winter coat! We checked into our amazing accomodation, Lamorna Lodge (which has gorgeous views of Carbis Bay from both the patio and bedrooms. Not to mention the amazing breakfasts which are included!) before we decided to explore the town and the beaches.
Saturday was spent exploring part of the South West Coastal Walk, Land's End (England's most South Westerly Point), St Michael's Mount (which is an occupied castle on an Island - can you imagine living there?) and the beach of Carbis Bay before watching the sunset over St Ives.
After amazing weather on Friday and Saturday, we woke to gloomy skies on Sunday. Ben and I still decided to persevere with our plans and proceeded to hike from our accommodation along the South West Coast to Zennor. However, half way through the 8 mile walk it began to rain and we were very glad when we arrived at lunch at a traditional English Pub to thaw out and relax.
Monday and it was time to head back to London, but first we decided to treat ourselves to lunch at Rick Stein's first restaurant, The Seafood Restaurant in Padstow. We arrived early and took in a walk around the town and along the beaches, building our appetite for an amazing meal.
