Travel and Adventure Journal

I wanted a place to journal all my travels and adventures around the world. I always enjoy going back and reflecting on my past travels and getting to relive them through my words and photos.

A Wasted Day Due to Rain

Wednesday, August 14, 2013 @ 9:55 PM in 2013 Europe

Day 49

I woke up this morning with every intention to go exploring more of the Cornish coast. Unfortunately, I woke up to dark skies and rain. I ended up just bumming around at the hostel watching tv and movies with some of the other guests here until after lunch.

A guy named Kurt and I walked around town and went down to one of the beaches just to get out of the hostel when there was a little break in the weather. We still got sprinkled on but it wasn't too bad. I had an official cornish pasty as a snack. They're pretty good but definitely not something I could eat every day. It's basically meat and veggies inside a baked dough. Think a calzone with steak, potatoes and carrots inside.

We came back to the hostel and I read for a little while and then showered. All of us were getting a bit antsy to get out of the hostel again so a group of us went down to a pub and played some pool and foosball and had a few beers. On the way back we stopped at Aldi and picked up some stuff for dinner.

They're setting up for beer pong in the lounge now so I'll probably go down and play a game or two. I'm actually quite tired for not really having done much today. I'm hoping the weather is better tomorrow so I can enjoy some more of the coastline.
