Cornwall - Day Three

We spent the morning walking about the cliff tops and beach that were located out the front door of our hostel. As you can see from our choice of clothing, it was still a rather chilly day with a very strong and blustery wind.









During Summer, this beach is packed with swimmers and sunbathers... and is surrounded by paddocks full of campervans and portable cabins.



Our hostel is the main cream-coloured building just to the right of centre.



We then got in the car and headed south, past Magwan Porth to Newquay. Originally we had planned to stop here for lunch and to go to the aquarium, but as Lucas was still asleep we decided to press on to St Ives.


















After lunch in St Ives, we travelled back to Newquay, to vist Reefworld aquarium. Lucas absolutely loved it.... he got to see fishes of all shapes and sizes... along with sharks, sting rays.. octopuses.. turtles.. cuttlefishes.. sea horses.. crabs... basically everything that lives under the sea. As I said.. he absolute adored it.. and I really regret not taking any photos of him. We bought him a toy soft-toy shart as a momento.. and partly because his favourite story at the moment is 'Smiley Shark'.

We were the only people in the aquarium at the time.. apparently they are piled in during the summer.
