Cornwall (IV)

This last week being half term, we have enjoyed another break in Cornwall. Travelled down on Monday morning, came back Tuesday afternoon. When we were down in August the weather one day was atrocious. Dartmoor Zoo gave us a free family pass to be used within three months, allied to the fact that the Eden Project give an annual pass for gift aiding. This meant we had two free family passes to use, hence the trip. Stayed overnight in a Premier Inn in St.Austell.

Dartmoor Zoo was misty and damp, but a lot better weather wise than last time. Again the close up experience of being next to lions, bears, tigers and wolves was awesome. You really get a sense of the power of these animals.

The Eden Project was a better experience for me this time round, on the grounds that I was not feeling ill this time. Again the place is incredible, and is definitely better experienced earlier in the day, before the crowds get there. The colour and layout of the plants is breath taking as well.

A good two days, despite the amount of milage involved. Roll on the next time!
