Random thoughts on my trip to Newquay

thought i'd write about my little trip in here.
so, i'm going to turn 21 soon, and i thought what better thing to do before my birthday then doing something i wanted since i was 13 or so. Ever since i saw pictures of Cornwall i've felt in love with the place, and wanted to see it for myself. now my dad doesn't like to travel, therefore it took me all these years to just go and do something on my own. Didn't even bother asking any of my friends to go with me.
And so two weeks ago last minute i arranged for train tickets and a hotel. The whole fucking time i've stayed in Newquay it rained and was very windy, plus it's a coastal town so it would be windy. One of the highlights of my trip was standing in this little path near the edge of a cliff looking down at rocks and the waves and how the waves broke against the rocks.And looking into the distance and seeing another beach and seeing endless ocean in front of me, and walking for hours long the beaches and little isolated roads.To my surprise my orientation around this town was better than i thought it would be, i didn't get lost at all, almost felt like i knew this place. Seeing lots of surfers gave laid back feel to the town. During my stay i've lived on loads of cornish pasties, rum&raisin ice creams, bailey's fudge, fish & chips, and steaks.one day walked so much that when i came to the hotel i couldn't move my limbs without feeling pain. Then took a bus to see so called "Eden project" which is basically outside garden, and two inside gardens full of man made tropical plants and the other full of dry climate plants.
From one point of view being own my own made me think "wow i've actually pulled off and planned something all by myself and it all went as planned" and from another point of view i thought "shit i feel very lonely" that made me think of Chris McCandless, absolutely do not know how the guy managed to spend some days all by himself, even he came to realize that happiness is best when shared.
Didn't really have an opportunity to meet anyone there, however when i was on the train going back home, i met this lovely woman by the name of Yvonne and we just talked about our little journey's and other random stuff. She offered me sweets and her magazines to read.She said she always tries to help people, as when she travels abroad she always finds that people are helpful to her. When speaking to her i found out that one of her relatives is in hospital treating cancer. I rarely meet people like her, so meeting her cheered me up. She's been more helpful to me than she even had to. It really makes me wonder, and really makes me think better about human race.
Hopefully her relative gets better
i can't pray but i am sending my well wishes to her and her relative.

It's always so good to take little breaks and trips. And if no one else will go, just go do it yourself
thanks
