Summer is almost coming to its end. This probably our last summer in the UK before we go back to Malaysia for good. We took the opportunity to go for a summer vacation and we chose the beautiful Cornwall beaches to spend our family holiday. I took few days leaves from work and decided to drive to Cornwall from London. It took about 5 hours drive. But with 1 baby and 1 toddler in the car it's just to long to drive straight to Cornwall and so we decided to stop by in Bristol (halfway of the journey) to take a break and visited our friend, Faz and family there. We continued our journey the next morning. Thanks a lot Faz for the hospitality.
It was raining slightly on the way but the weather turned great in the afternoon when we arrived at our camp site. Yup, we actually camping there. We just wanted to experience something different. Tired of staying at typical holidays accommodation such as hotels or B&Bs in busy and crowded city. This time we opted something which is more nature friendly accomodation, a tipi. A tipi is a conical type of hut which is very famous among the Native Americans. To be honest, it is quite comfy and big actually. We cooked our own food there. They do provide gas stove in the tipi and you also have the option to go all natural by using log to do your cooking. We tried both and it's very exciting especially for Adam..hehe..
So the first day we arrived, we went to a historical fishing village Port Isaac to get some groceries and we spent most of our time having picnic in a beach called Polzeath. Both places are just about 15-30 minutes drive away from our tipi and I think both are the nearest town from where we stayed. The view was spectacular and the beach is just so lovely. Hope you enjoy these pictures of breathtaking scenery of Port Isaac.
