Coves, Beaches & Pasties, Cornwall Part III

On our third day in Cornwall we explored the entire north coast. Yep, the whole thing. From St Ives to Bude.  Even though it was a long day, it was entirely worth the effort given the views we had.  Add in a few extra stops along the way for scenic loveliness, our itinerary looked something like this - St Ives, Carbis Bay, Portreath, Porthtowan, St Agnes, Perranporth, Holywell, Newquay, Padstow and Rock, with the Bedruthan steps squeezed in too.

I won't say too much more because the pictures really do all the talking.


An obligatory pasty stop was made along the way for a late breakfast!

 


And this beautiful spot of the earth is where we stopped for lunch. We just grabbed ourselves some goodies from the supermarket and had a picnic, and we even both went for a swim.


In love with my Triangl swimwear!






We made the quickest of quick stop offs at the Bedruthan Steps, just enough time for me to jump out of the car and take a selfie!










Now you know those times when iMaps tells you a road exists but then it doesn't really? Well, that's what happened here.

Flintstone Living in Cappadocia, Turkey

If you've ever wondered what it must be like to live on the moon or in an alternate universe, then Cappadocia is the place to be.  It's simply surreal.  The landscapes are beautiful and weird, and both of us were pretty much speechless.  After the awful overnight bus ride to Cappadocia from Antalya, we both passed out in our dorm for most of the day a few hours, and got up in the late afternoon to go and explore the town of Goreme.  So here are some photos from our wanderings.













After spending the whole afternoon and evening pretending to be the Flintstones, we ended the day with a delicious feed and of course some apple tea.

 
Oh and incase you were wondering, my shorts are from H&M, crop t-shirt is from a random, little shop in Langkawi (sorry) and the shirt and my bag are both from Urban Outfitters.
