Day 48

This morning I made some potatoes and eggs for breakfast and then set off to walk along the coast. There is a nice path that goes along the coast so I headed for that. I picked up a sandwich to eat later while I was walking to the path.

The coast is beautiful. It reminded me a lot of the coasts of Southern California. Unfortunately it was high tide when I was walking along the cliffs which are supposed to be a lot more stunning at low tide. Tomorrow I'll have to check them out when the sea is a little lower.

After eating lunch along the coast I made my way back to the hostel to get my book and get my flip flops. I went down to the beach and read for a while but then it started to cool off when it got cloudy.

I came back to the hostel, showered and will do a little work before making dinner tonight. I need to plan out where I'm going to hike tomorrow too.

Day 47

I spent all day getting here to Newquay. I took a bus from Cardiff to Bristol and then another bus from Bristol to Newquay. I had some pretty good tomato basil soup next to the bus station in Bristol with my nutella/peanut butter and jelly sandwich.

Newquay seems like a really cool town. Everyone comes here to surf and there are some amazing coastlines. They actually remind me a lot of some of the Pacific coast in California. Tomorrow I'll set out to explore the area a little more.

I got to the hostel, checked in, bought some groceries and then ate dinner. The hostel (Driftwood Lodge) is a tiny place but everyone here seems extremely cool. It sounds like they're going to have a big BBQ tonight so I bought some rum and cokes to drink while they're all drinking and eating.
