Tintagel!

Yesterday I spent time in Exeter (awesome cathedral), Honiton (didn't find lace, but did find pottery), the Blackdown Hills (complete with Canadian memorial), Beer (picturesque) and Ottery St. Mary (a mini replica church of Exeter's cathedral). It was a slower paced day, but still really cool.

Today was the huge highlight - Tintagel Castle!!! I've wanted to go there since I was really small, and it's a true dream come true that I've finally been. It lived up, and surpassed my expectations, I was really pleased. Plus I was all alone at the site, so I really got to get into the magic of the place. Photos will be posted later. I also visited the port town of Bude, and a really cool Victorian mansion called Lanhydrock - I would totally recomend it to anyone in the area - even though it was expensive, it was worth it!

So that's the super quick update for now! :)
