Time has almost come to wrap up our trip. Here we are on the last day of  the trip. St. Ives is only 7 miles away from Hayle,  a town where we stayed in, about 20 minutes drive. I have nothing to say but, AMAZING! my heart skipped a beat just as soon as I saw the beach view. I guess pictures below can tell (not that I say I’m a good photographer haha). What caught by my eyes was far way more beautiful, seriously.

It was a bit cloudy and dark on that day and seemed as though rain would fall soon. Hence, we decided not to spend the whole day over there. I hate rain. I didn’t want the same thing in Belfast happen to my camera again, in this case the new one. But all in all, we enjoyed our quick visit to St. Ives. I, in the first place, didn’t plan to play with the water by the beach, but only to take pictures. Then I changed my mind, gave up that plan and instead, went near the beach to play with beach water like a little kid (also took some videos but I’m too embarrassed to post it here haha). In fact, all of us (me and friends) stepped forward to reach water by the beach. It’s not a beach like many of you might imagine where there are bunch of visitors playing, sitting on the sand, sunbathing, etc. The wind was too strong for that kind of activities. So the visitors were a bit calm there. Most of them only went round for a while, then went to the nearest bar or restaurant to chill out. I wonder if it’s a different ambiance during summer holiday. So, finally, we then headed back to Birmingham. I personally was satisfied by this particular roadtrip. In 3 days we visited quite some places yet we could enjoy each place without any rush. The difficult-to-find-chinese-restaurant during the trip might be the only drawback (though it’s actually the most essential one haha. we found ourselves as a group of people who suffered from starve for days)

p.s. well, there was, too, another misfortune: our car got clamped by the security because we were late 20 minutes. So, here’s the story behind… we bought the 2 hours parking ticket, and turned out we appeared 2 hours and 20 minutes later which made us fined 80 pounds. 80 pounds for 20 minutes late, for God’s sake!! Just our luck. But at least we got lesson to learn. Don’t forget the parking time limit.

p.p.s. I’m only a few days away from Eurotrip! woohooo. Will go visit my friends in Netherland this coming weekend and I’m also expecting my sister to come a few days later then (her visa is still in process. really hope it will be issued on time!) then we’re up to Eurotrip together. Hopefully, everything is on track. I’m coming more on to this later!
