my weekend travelling...

On the weekend (some weekends back) we went to Devon!!
It's quite far away, about 5 hours drive, but we went anyway. It was really beautiful there!! Usually, you don't get sandy beaches in my area, but in the west of England, there are loads!!
We had fun walking beside the water, and then splashing about in the water...and then eating ice-cream!!
Staying in the travel-lodge was fun, too, as there was a big bed, and me and my brother had one family room to ourselves :) the other room was for my parents and my other brother...heh
we only stayed for about 2 nights, though..
the views at Devon were great, though! lots of countryside, sheep, cows, wild chickens, and small roads are what we got more often than beaches, though, but it was nice, as we got to experience what it was like for the peasants living there centuries ago... we were studying medieval England last year in history...
you can still see where their houses might have been, as there are still lines in between the fields.
anyway, we also went to Boscastle, in Cornwall. Ever eaten Cornish ice-cream? Well, that's where it comes from! It was another sandy beach in Cornwall, and my parents and my brother took off their shoes and went to walk beside the water, and soon enough they were rolling their jeans' up so that they could go in the water! Meanwhile, me and my toddler brother ghufran were drawing things in the wet sand! I made a cat, and a smilie, and then he kept dragging his foot around and making scribbles on the sandy floor. Then, we washed our hands, and went for the ever-famous Cornish ice-cream!! I chose chocolate, my dad chose honey and caramel, my mum went for strawberry, shaiban had mint choc-chip, and ghufran ate all 4 of our ice-creams, plus his own milky-ice-cream!!! anyway, after that, we went back, and packed our stuff up, as it was time to check-out, and drive home!!
it was a great trip to the west, but i think i like staying at home...
