Friday evening, 27 March - At Paddington railway station, London. A quick bite of BK burger at the station and we are all ready to set off for Cornwall.
The train felt very much like a mobile pub with a hen party going on at one corner of our carriage and a bunch of party goers drinking themselves silly at the other end. The bride to be was running about in her veil wearing a big sign on her chest -'I am taken' while the group of alcohol consumers were playing basket balls (where balls = chocolate balls & basket = mouth). At that current state, it doesn't surprise anyone to find the floor of the carriage scattered with the little brown savory spheres. They should be charged with noise pollution and wastage of food!
Remind me to opt for the quiet carriage the next time round especially on a Friday night!! Even the beautiful melody from my faithful i-pod can't drown the f****s that were so occassionally heard! Guess I should be thankful that they were only swearing and not puking all over! I tried to concentrate on my book and it did help to distract me for about an hour before I turned my attention to 2 complete strangers sitting on my right. Pretty girl and a not too bad looking chap who ended up in continuous conversation throughout the entire train journey. I would have thought they will exchange their contact numbers before bidding each other farewell..well.
Close to midnight of 27 March - we finally reached Plymouth, Devon. Checked in our hotel. Hit the little bar counter for our complimentary welcome cocktail. Chit chat a little before retiring to our beds.
28 March, Saturday morning - Cloudy, slight rain with occasional sunshine - the perfect recipe to experience a rainbow! let's see if we are lucky enough to spot one.
Breakfast at the hotel was better than we expected. I was feeling very famished and was more than happy to tuck into a buffet breakfast!!
Feeling fully charged and energised, we are all ready to move on to our first place of attraction - Eden Project.
2 rented cars, TomTom all set (but forgot to select avoid toll). Ops! we ended up at the entrance of the ferry terminal. Ferry that fetches car type of ferry. We made a call and decided to take the longer route. No ferry = No need to part with our hard earned pounds! With some missed turns and some U-turns, we finally reached Eden Project.
