Turnchapel, Plymouth

Lovely little get away weekend spent in a cottage over looking the harbour. 

Plenty of time seeing family and local attractions including the National Marine Aquarium where I went to their shark talk for little kids (and teenagers wanting to be little kids again) and took some slefies in the glass tunnel, my favourite one being:

#SharkSelfie My cousin and I with a Basking shark, sorry about the poor photo quality - I was using my forward facing ipod camera and the lighting wasnt the best either.

One of my favourite parts was our daily boat ride on the water taxi across the harbour to the town centre. Bobbing along in a little yellow boat with some great views of Mount Batton and usually sat outside 'on deck' in the drizzle.

Not everyone dressed weather appropriatly! The weather was the down side to the weekend, with a months worth of rainfall forcasted to pour during the 4 days we stayed in Plymouth and tempratures barley hitting 18c and not exactly feeling it. 

However, on Saturday the clouds parted and the sun beat down. My family and I set off on a costal walk with some fabulous views of the water and surrounding nature (sorry im lacking photos!). 3 hours and an icecream later and we found ourselves on this little stretch of beach near Wembry where a well deserved sit down on the sand and roam around the rock pools took place. 

 

On Sunday we took a drive down to Falmouth to have a little look at the town and UNI and on Monday we headed to Cornwall to visit more family and celebrate my brothers birthday with a tonne of chocolate cake, scones with cornish clotted cream and body boarding at Polly Joke beach, a great little spot. The weather and waves were great :)

I thoroughly enjoyed a both relaxing and adventurous little holiday only a few hours drive from home!
