Cornwall

On Wednesday at 7 am we hopped onto what would be the "never-ending bus ride" to the Cornwall...south of London. It took us the entire day to get there. We took a few stops on the way there, which made it nice! Fortunately for us we stayed in a very nice hotel that was equipped with pools, saunas, steam rooms, hot tubs, the works! We felt like we were in a modern day version of "bath!" This is what the schedule looked like-
Day 1: first stop Porthcurno, cutest small fishing village and Truro cathedral
Day 2: Tintagel...supposedly where King Arthur lived. It was SO beautiful, I loved every minute of it. Some of the most breathtaking views I've ever witnessed. I wish I could take everyone there to know what I'm talking about but these pictures will have to suffice! We also toured theold post office built there, I think build in the 14th century, but I took no pictures. 
This was my favorite, sitting on the edge of this cliff looking out to the ocean and down to the cliffs. I could've stayed there for hours! 
After Tintagel we quickly visited St. Michael's Mount and Landsend
Day 3: first stop Exeter to visit the cathedral and Chawton, where Jane Austin resided for a portion of here life. 
The excursion to Cornwall was fabulous. We loved it! It was definitely exhausting and I was ready to be home. I do miss our suite that had 3 beds for 2 girls, hot cocoa and tea nightly, our pool and the sauna, fun bus rides with HP, and just good times being with the entire group! Cornwall is beautiful, it honestly is. Its quaint and some of the most beautiful countryside. Lots of history and much to see and we definitely saw a lot!
