Up early today and set off for St Austell and the Eden Project, lots to do and we all had a good day here, the Eden Project is significantly larger than I was expecting, and very cleverly placed so that you can only see it once you’re in and through the ticket barrier. The price wasn’t as bad as it could have been as we received a discount for being English Heritage members, we were also able to pick up a discount voucher for tomorrow’s adventure.
Once we were in, we received an adventurers booklet for Toby and he was given his adventurers name by some picking of letters of his name. His name was Poison Wolf he was taught how to navigate by nature, how to tie a couple of knots and we were sent in search of a T-Rex (nothing like throwing an 8 year old into the deep end)..
After wandering past a T-Rex that had slain a Triceratops we wandered around looking for a bite to eat. Burgers and hotdogs with sweet potato fries and we were ready to hit the bio-orbs.. Toby was very interested in the Mediterranean Bio-orb, but not the Rain Forest one. My assumption is it was too hot in the latter and it was a long walk around, certain bits were shut due to the temperature (too hot?). He did however do a grand job of getting stamps in his adventurers booklet.
After the bio-orbs we wandered around the gardens looking at as many nooks and crannies we could. April has decided we must get a couple of hundred acres so she can design a niche garden, I’m not sure Bognor Regis is ready for that..
After the Eden Project we left for Polkerris, which had a gorgeous beach with spectacular views. Toby realised it was a beach just too late, unfortunately leaving his body board, trunks and towel in the van. Not dissuaded by this he had a swim in his pants.
A long walk back up the hill to the van, we left Polkerris behind us and have found a BritStop for the evening (Number 5) my only complaint is they asked us to purchase a couple of drinks in order for us to stay, also I’m not convinced they have all the things the BritStops book says they do.. Anyhow, it’s much quieter here than the last place so hopefully we’ll get a good nights sleep.
Much fun to be had tomorrow.. Night all..
