Summertime Madness

Journey to Cornwall requires around 6 hours from London Paddington. We took a morning train and stopped at a station called Carbis Bay. The house that we booked from Booking.com was around 10 minutes walk. We had to pass through a small woods, and the road was kinda uphill from there. The owner had a pick-up truck that carried our small luggages and dropped it at the house later on so we didn't have to carry it our own.

We arrived, put our belongings, walked more uphill to Tesco, shopped a lot of snacks and food ingredients because we planned to cook during the 4D3N stay. There were 9 of us in total and it was always crowded, especially if 8 of them were girls with chirpy voices.

We walked to have some lunch and then to the first beach which is Carbis Bay. That wasn't the main attraction in Cornwall (St. Ives is but we'll get to that), but since we lived closer to Carbis Bay, that was the first beach destination. It was too chilly to take a dip, so we didn't. We should've known, it's England after all. However, the sky was beautiful, the weather was breezy and sunny at the same time, one of those pretty moments in the UK. I might get a lot of sunny days in Indonesia, but I have to say that the skies in the west part of the world can somehow be more captivating than in this tropical country, or at least in my island, Java (because I cannot say for Bali or Sumba or the more untouched parts of Indonesia). They are photogenic. Here? Not so much. You can see it for yourself.

Brighton Pier

One of the destinations that my friends and I visited last winter holiday. Lovely place and food if it weren't disturbed by the ugly weather. We fought with the wind and rain, therefore we didn't get to enjoy fully the whole city, we just moved from one restaurant to another. Nevertheless, it was still an amazing day, because it wasn't where you spend your time in, it was who did you spend it with ;) (see, I can be poetic sometimes)

Bag - Cupcake

This was the jacket I wrote about. You see, it was so hard to find a good bubble jacket, I thank God I bought this one a few years ago, never thought it would come in handy during winter season. Even this one I think still makes me look like a balloon had exploded in the sky. But hey, that's what a bubble jacket did to you. They made you look hoooyooogeee D; but sadly a bubble jacket was essential, especially in windy, wintry moment like when I visited Brighton. I'm still trying to find another great bubble jacket to keep me warm (and another reason to shop ;))

And the drop-crotch shorts, oh my. I never thought it would match easily with many things from my wardrobe, but it did, and I'm glad I bought it. My friend said I looked like a big baby with a diaper but his words just went in from my right ear and swoooshh...left right through my left ear. I couldn't careless. I love these shorts. I'll keep wearing it.

Ciao.
