Cornish Coastal Trip.

I spent the last couple days driving though Cornwall.  I ended up making it to the south west tip of the Uk.  They call it Lands End.  I saw a few interesting things along the way.  Most of the pics in this blog are of coastline, as it was quite amazing.  So please enjoy.  This will be the last blog before Christmas.  So everyone please have a good holiday, and enjoy some time off work.  Happy holidays!

At low tide you can walk all the way across the path to get to the island.

Some prime time real estate for the a church.
Wish I would have stayed here!  Looked cool.

So they say there are pubs on every corner. They might be right. The green awning with the 13 on it is the enterence to our flat. If you look down to the far right you will see the East Hill Free House, or pub. Closer than I would have ever thought I would live to a pub.

Later that afternoon we went back to Dorset {In the country} and found this spot high up in the hills and tried to fly a kite. Thanks to the help of another man who clearly knew how to fly a kite we where able to get the silly thing up in the air. Turned out to be quite a bit fun!
