For Easter weekend, Janaki, Mayank, Josh and I went to Cornwall. We stayed in a really nice B&B in St Austall. The train took quite some time so on Friday we took a little visit to Mevagissey and Charlsetow. On Saturday we went for the mammoth tour and drove all around the bottom of the island. We went to St Ives, Mousehole, Newlyn, Porthcurno, Lands End (England's most westerly point) and back up - very exhausting. In the evening we went to the local pub for dinner and what an experience! All the locals came out for a bit of Karaoke, two of them had a fight, one of them came back in to sing 'Grease Lightening'! Before somebody informed him that his mother was here to pick him up! Then all the pub lights went on - party over - very funny!!! On Sunday we drove down to St Michael Mount. We even had a Sunday Service in the Priory Church which was rebuilt in the late 14th century. It's really old and was originally an important centre for the Cornish tin trade during the iron age! In 1066 Benedictine monks built an abbey here then in 1659 it was purchased by Colonel John St Aubyn who turned into a fortress. They had cream tea's once we where back on mainland. Then we drove to Lizard point (England's most southerly point) where we had Cornish ice cream and sat in the sun. Whilst we did all the sightseeing Mayank brought his document with him! That evening we went for dinner at 15 in Newquay - the Jamie Oliver restaurant that has training chief's. Monday we spent the day travelling home on the train - it's a long way away!
