Well, what a trip we've had so far! After 10 months, it was such a great thing to finally see Tash in person. Yesterday was such a great experience, (if a very early one! I met a couple of friendly Aussie girls at the Archway station who were also going to pick up a sibling from the same terminal. How random!)
We had a really long day, as I was up at 4am to catch pick up Tash who had been travelling for around 24 hrs and we hardly stopped all day! After leaving the Airport at Heathrow, poor Tash had to shoulder her backpack for the first time (I won't tell you what it weighs!) fixed up a few things at home and then caught the train down to Cornwall.
At the beginning of the trip, I made friends with a lovely lady who'd been living in Turkey for about 5 years. She told me all sorts of stories of her life over there, and threw in a few recipes which I certaily appreciated! We had heaps of fun chatting away, Tash just mellowing to the sounds of her mp3 player - insistant on staying away until night time so that she would get over her jetlag quickly.
Pat said that if I made my way to Turkey before next april (she's moving back to the UK) I should call her and stay with her. Definitely thinking of taking her up on it.
Today we took our hire car up past St Austel and to the Eden Project. Such an awesome site! Zip wire for tash, photography galore for myself...and lots of walking around. Heading down to St. Ives tomorrow before catching the train back to London.
Hopefully will post more soon. That's all for now!
Ooh eden project - crazy big bubbles and the worlds within! Fun Fun. And St Ives was nice too - didn't feel very English... but the surf still wasn't that appealing. Hope you have lots of fun with Tash. xxx Kate
