Tentagel once more

Sadly, didn’t get much sleep last night so awoke feeling a little grumpy and tired, I guess that’s the consequence of only having 3 hours sleep. Not sure why I didn’t sleep so well but I have a feeling it has something to do with the two skinny dippers who were “WHOOOOING” in the ocean just under our window. I was half tempted to stick my head out and comment on how chilly it must be, but I couldn’t really be bothered moving, so left my remark to myself. The wonderful news to come out of my lack of sleep however was the text I received from my number one back up chick Ashe telling me she’d FINALLY given birth to bub Eliot, I was very excited and I did wake Chris to tell him this news, we’ve been waiting for a long time to hear this great news, 9 months infact would you believe?

We dragged ourselves out of the backers, into the car and onto Tantagel once more. We arrived nice and early so there were not many other tourists about which was really nice, you don’t often have an attraction to yourself here! We loved Tantagel the first time we stopped there and had really been hoping to make it back for a better look and wander about and with the place pretty much to ourselves we were able to have a good look about the cliff tops and at all the ruins, it’s just an amazing place to visit.

Ruins of Tentagel

We moved on from this gorgeous spot and made our way back towards Bristol, we had a schedule to keep as we had to return the hire car today. It wasn’t so bad, we were able to see a few things, take a few stops, have lunch and make our way back in comfortable time. It was good to see Ann and Bryan once more and to be ‘home’ We’d been invited out that night to celebrate one of Jens friends 27th birthday, but the combination of little sleep and a full on day of sight seeing and driving we were totally knackered and regretfully declined the offer, I just don’t think they have appreciated us having to prop ourselves up and prize our eyes open in an effort to be social. An early night in a bid to catch up on all our lost sleep and get over the grumps.

nothing beats second time arounds isn't it? when you fall in love to a place, you really just can't seem to get a hold of your self. even just for a very short time, it gives you a very nice feeling of being there again. congratulations!
