Cornwall Holidays

Last May, just before I came back to Japan, my best friend, Looby, invited me to go on holiday with her family to Cornwall, which is in the southwest area of England. It is popular to spend holiday time there…the reason is that it is warmer than other areas of England!
It took us eight hours to get to Cornwall from Bromsgrove near Birmingham, where I stayed. But my friends and I were talking most of the way to get there while we were awake. In fact, we talked too much! It was midnight so we had got tired soon, and we tried not to sleep by counting cars on the same motorway. Finally, at two o clock in the morning we got there… we were so excited but we went straight to bed!!! The long journey had made us so tired.
The next day I could not believe the beautiful view from the huge window that the house had. We were staying at Looby's grandma's house. I enjoyed myself watching seagulls flying around just by the window in the beautiful sky. “ Cornish Pastie” is a traditional food in Cornwall. It is said that people who worked to dig tunnels ate them for energy. They could take and eat them very easily because of the shape. Cornish pasties are still popular nowadays. It was the lunch for us and we went out to the seaside after lunch. The sea was absolutely fantastic!!! I could not believe it was in England because I had been in the middle land for ages. I had assumed the English sea was not very clean but it was! My eyes can prove it to myself!! My favorite was St.Ives. The sea was very cold so we could not go in, however, we did wade in with only our feet. There is a small mountain in the sea and on the top of the mountain there is a castle! I did not get there but the view of the way to the mountain, which was hidden by sea water, was brilliant for me. This view stayed in my eye deeply.
I loved Cornwall very much. If given the chance, I would love to visit there again! If you fancy going on a holiday why don’t you choose to go there?
