MY TEMBOMBOM WORLD

This is the last day for our 3 days 2 nights trip to Cornwall. After breakfast, we packed our things and checked-out around 10 am. But we didn’t go back straight away, we just put luggages in car and then walked around St Ives for the last time. It was really cold morning that day, so eventhough it was 10am already, the sky was very gloomy and not much people on the beach. We walked slowly around the beach and then we entered the St Ives Museum. Quite interesting because it has lots of old pictures (more than 100yrs old) of St Ives. We spent around 1hr there then we went to harbour again to last minute shopping for omiyage. We bought home made Cornish fudge at an old lady store. She made it all by herself so I felt like the fudges were original specialty. And we also tried Cornish Pasty. A giant curry puff look alike pasty with sweetcorn,brocolly and cheese filling (actually we already had one Cornish pasty at marazion but it too salty and just had potatoes & carrots inside). The Cornish pasty is very big, bigger than my palm, enough for two Asian people to eat. 

We round and round the St Ives till 12pm, eventhough we just had our Cornish pasty but we decided to eat lunch here before drive to Tintagel. Since the first day, Adi kept mention that he wanted to eat Fish & Chip, so we entered a small coffee shop which don’t have name signboard outside but very simple and nice. Adi ordered Cod & Chip for him and a slice of Apple Pie for me. See these pictures below, see how big the Fish & Chip!!! makan sampai mabok!!!

 After mabok Fish & Chip we drove to Tintagel. Tintagel is famous for its The Old Post Office; the 13th century Cornish building and The Tintagel Castle; the legend of King Arthur. When we arrived it was already 4pm, giri-giri before they closed. The Old Post Office was a nice old house with post office counter located in the middle of the town. But The Tintagel Castle was a big challenge to me because we need to walk 600m on ’jalan kampung’ just to arrived at the information counter. Then to go to the castle,we need to climb at least 100 steep steps exactly on the cliff!!! merangkak nak panjat tangga naik atas (T_T). The Castle have two parts; island & mainland, we just went to the mainland area because I don’t think that i can climb to the island area which is much more steps than the mainland. After 45mins we went back down to the info counter. From there we paid 1.50pound/person to ride Landrover Shuttle to back to Tintagel town, kaki ketaq byk naik turun bukit. When we arrived at carpark, it was 6pm already, so we drove back to Bristol, ended our trip to Cornwall. Next time, maybe trip to Scotland (^_^)V

Sebagai pembuka kata, saya ingin mengucapkan selamat menyambut ramadhan kepada semua. Semoga bertambah amal ibadat pada tahun ini dan hidup dilimpahi berkat bulan ramadhan.

On second day in Cornwall, we went to Saint Micheal’s Mount at Marazion about 15mins drive from St Ives. The Saint Micheal’s Mount is an island but you can walk when the tide is low. It has a myth about a giant and long history from thousand of years ago. It used to be an army based hundred years ago and when Spain armada came to England to war, this castle was the first based that spot the armada and warned the England by torched a fire. The castle is located on top of the mount. Quite high and curam; termengah-mengah mak buyung ni nak sampai ke puncak. But it worth it with its nice view (^_^)

After that we drove to Minack Theatre. An unique open air theatre on the cliff. This theatre built by a woman-Rowena Cade. But on that day there was a performance when we arrived so I cant see the spectacular theatre area. we just can see from outside the theatre. (-_-;)

Then we went to Land’s End. Like its name, this is the end of the UK mainland in south. Nothing much there, just a small theme park.

Lend’s End was the closing to our second day trip. Back to St Ives again, bought kebab for dinner then lepak in our room for the rest of the night.
