Mini Van Trip to Cornwall

Over the Easter long weekend, we took our newly acquired 1984 VW Carthago Campervan to south west England.

On the way to Cornwall we decided to get "off the beaten track" and see Stonhenge, however you can't miss it from the motorway, and we literally almost ran into it!

Some rocks. Guess where we are...

Everyone's favourite rock artist...

Beverages of choice, at a location of choice. We were going to be entirely self sufficent on the van trip, however decided that the pub would be sufficient by itself.

Well, we couldn't just have 1!

Taking up quite a comfy position which we think will be fought over in the months to come on the big van trip.

Our home away from home away from home!

St Michaels Mount, not far from Penzance. No pirates there, either.

The end of the world. Aptly named 'Land's End'. Next stop, America

Not the warmest place on earth.

Time for some wine! We had a big day and needed some refreshments. A solid 4 hours driving that day. It's tough.

Eating fresh stir fry for dinner. Note the freshly picked flowers and the vase whose original contents we consumed for the display. Tres Chic!

Tucked up in bed in the bed made for 1 and 3/4 people.

Happy Easter! Good things come in small packages. Note- more Easter eggs off shot.

Chowing down on a Cornish Pasty just out of Cornwall

Stopped by some road-side hippies not far from Glastonbury for some awesome strawberries. I think they lasted about 5 minutes after the picture was taken.

Nectar of the gods. Matty Lang!!! Can't buy this in England, I hear you say?

Due to the fact that, in Newcastle, we had THE best neighbours in the world, we were spoilt one day when a bottle of the good stuff arrived by post.

Needless to say not a drop went to waste. Thanks Matt and Brett!!! You are uber!

Divine... What a combination.

Van envy

The Roman Baths at... Bath. Beautiful city, also home to Drew's favourite tourist attraction to date. The Louvre? No, Eiffel Tower? No. The Jane Austen centre! We both had a great time there!

Same deal as Stonehenge with audio guides. Quite helpful.

Drew sitting in front of the main Bath. There is steam coming off it constantly though it's not heated. Not even Peg is cruel enough to push him into that murky stuff. Tempting though...

Testing the photographic capabilities of the staff at the Baths.

Explanation: A gourmet chocolate shop down a side street in Bath, run by a crazy, authentic French chef who, when asked who these were modelled off, replied "A very special woman" (Said with bona-fide French accent)

Peg in front of the bridge which we thought we were looking for but weren't because it was somewhere else. Took a photo anyway, and had an ice cream.

Our brave passenger. How was this photo taken? What's that look supposed to mean? I think Drew's in trouble.

Best named shop in the world! No idea what they sell. Looks kinda boring though. Except for the name!
