Scenes from Newquay

NEWQUAY 
Note: do not go down to Newquay on the train when the so called Spring Break begins, only English style.  Lots of 16 to 20year olds go away for the week ready to partee.  Some have got sooo drunk in the past several deaths have occurred due to drinking too much and falling off the cliffs.  So now the local constablary have a No Tolerance policy for drinking under age.  The enforcement begins at the train station when arriving.  All passengers are funnelled into an exit queue with the police screening underage kids for booze.  Even a trained police dog is sniffing for drugs and booze.  Missy and Ian did the smart thing and made a quick exit. I on the otherhand got caught up in the middle of all the kids.   Obviously not an underage person it took me a while to manouever where the police could see me and let me out of the queue. The amount of booze confiscated was unbelievable.  They had 4 cart loads already with still a lot of kids to screen.  
The sunset from our balcony.


Had an amazing week in Newquay.  Pru had the opportunity to meet another set of her English relatives.  Missy & Ian got to experience Newquay and the changing weather, dramatic coastline, and cream teas.  I got to enjoy the many walks, visiting my family and generally being happy I wasn't in Oklohama experiencing the 100+ weather.
Fistral Beach Newquay, great for surfing, making sand castles, playing in the pools.  Family fun.
Breakfast on the balcony. How marvelous to wake up to this every morning.
Picnic on the beach
There are 6 more beaches around Newquay like this one
