Lizard, Cornwall: The Review

So yesterday I got back from Cornwall after a week there with my girlfriend Tracey, Andrea and Billy. It was probably the best holiday ever. Mostly because I was with someone I love for once.

The place i stayed in was a one floor cottage, very near the beach and very near England's most southerly point. It was a nice place. The bathrooms were weirdly connected to the bedrooms. It had wireless Internet (At one end of the house) . It had an alright hdtv. It was no Sony bravia but it did the job. I'd brought my ps3 with me although noone played on it much for obvious reasons. Unfortunately the wifi didn't quite reach the ps3.

We went to Newquay zoo and blue reef aquarium, also in Newquay, all in the same day. I took a video of a dude doing a talk on some sea animals. Which I may not have anymore, but if I do, it'll be on YouTube. After that we went for a walk on the beach, I held Tracey's hand, I climbed rocks, stepped in a puddle I didn't see, Tracey hurt her knee, Andrea picked up stones and shells. That was all in one day.

I was also sick on one day, with what I've been getting a lot recently, vomiting up food I've had recently and then bile, and diarrhoea. I thought it was the local take away, since the first 4 times I got it the night I had one. But on holiday i hadn't had one in days, so it's in the clear.

It also happened today. Still no take away, so I don't know what it is.

Anyway, back to the holiday. We all went to see a couple of castles, St Mawes and another one across the water i can't remember the name of. Pen something. I'd upload pictures of all these places but they're on my nokia n95 or my camera. I'll add them when I get home. I'm at work by the way.

We also went to Bodmin jail. Apparently it was pretty haunted, seemed fine to me. It was pretty big, had several floors. And yesterday we went to stonehenge. And these castles, this jail and stonehenge, we had to pay for it all. We had to pay £7.50 to look at ancient rocks. Don't you think that's ridiculous. Am I the only one that sees that? They're in fields. Public places. It's stupid. I bought a baguette for £4.25 at stonehenge. It was a nice baguette. But not £4.25 nice. Overcharging us tourists.

Anyway other than the prices, it was probably my favourite holiday. Lizard was amazing, except for the lack of phone signal and low room temperature that we couldn't make warmer because it'd affect the owner's house since it's connected. There was some beautiful views and nice houses. The shops opened late though, maybe because it's not the time of year for tourists.

I do have one picture though. A panorama of by the lizard point Lighthouse. I don't know how it'll turn out since it's so wide (that's what she said).

Tracey got sick one day late into the holiday as well. She suffers from fibromalygia (I think that's how you spell it). It's some kind of neurological disorder, it can cause a lot of pain for her, makes her tired unable to move or talk much and makes her depressed. And there's no cure or treatment for it. So I have to just sit there and do nothing while she's in pain. I'm sure there's been some point where we've had to watch a loved one suffer in pain. But she has to suffer, probably for life

Holiday

Tomorrow, I'm going on holiday with my sexy Irish girlfriend Tracey, and my best friend Andrea and her husband Billy from America. I've got most of my stuff packed, I'm just sitting here with a giant sized mug of tea:

Worlds Biggest Mug. Me
The hand is for size comparison. I would use a normal sized mug but i don't have one easily accessible. It's taking ages to drink.

Anyways, I'll be taking my PS3 and my Asus Transformer. And my laptop. And my PSP. Good job i still have that big blue suitcase thing that my aunt gave me when i went to America. Although I'm sure i will be entertained plenty at night, if ya know what i mean ;D

So it's going to be loads of sexy fun. It's a long journey from Birmingham. I think about a 4 hour drive. One thing i worry about is the beach. Well to be more specific, the sea. I don't mind getting in water, I'm not afraid of it or anything. I just don't like to be topless. If you saw my body, you'd know why. I look pregnant. Maybe i should get a mankini. I suppose i better pack swimming shorts.

I'll let you know what happens there after we come back. Obviously i can't see the future. Oh and the song "Holiday" by Madonna is stuck in my head. Thanks Tracey. ALE ALEJANDRO! :D She knows what i mean.

Oh and on another note, I've hit over 3000 views now. Well done you, pat on the back. Oh and if you haven't already, vote on the poll. There's 10 days left to vote on it. It's pretty geeky.

I've just realised i haven't said where I'm going on holiday. It's Lizard Point in Cornwall. Come over and visit us. We'll be there a week. We clearly have plenty of entertainment. See ya in a week

Sleep

Let me tell you how well I slept last night.

I had to be up at 7.30 to be in work for 9.30. Now, I have enough trouble getting to sleep, and I got to sleep soon after 1.30. So that would have obviously been 6 hours. But for no reason whatsoever, my body decided to wake up just before 5.30.

So that's less than 4 hours. I wasn't even able to get back to sleep either,especially with my dad vacuuming and shouting. My body hates me I'm sure of it. And I don't sleep any earlier if I go to bed earlier. I just lie there thinking.

Someone recommended vitamins but I keep forgetting to get some.

This has been a really short blog but I think I've made all the points I need to make. And I've been trying to write this blog for quite a while but I'm at work and we're quite busy.

But now I'm done, so until next time, citizens!
