The Eid Fitr Mubarak
photoshoot and the road trip
It was free and easy on the 4th day. Both my
parents woke up early and to kill time, I brought them for a quick shopping at
ASDA (ASDA opens 24 hours 6 days in a week). The one thing I really love about the
UK is supermarkets are easily assessable and the groceries are cheap (even though you convert it into
Ringgit Malaysia)!
Later in the morning, I had an Eid-Fitr Mubarak themed photo
shoot with my closest friends who came down the whole way from St. Albans for
my graduation.

A visit to Cornwall, will not be complete without paying a
visit to the famous St. Ives, Land’s End and St. Micheal Mount. We departed from our apartment at 1200H and our first stop was
St. Ives. St. Ives is a 55 minutes drive from Penryn and is a seaside town
which is located north of Penzance. It offers a really spectacular view, especially on a summer day!

Things to do if you only have 3 hours in St. Ives:
- Walk along the coastline and embrace the
view!
- Eat mouth-watering waffles beside the beach.
- Dine-in and enjoy a cream tea.
- Eat lots of ice-cream
especially Cornish made one because it’s summer!

Our second
stop was at Land’s End. It took us 45 minutes by car from St. Ives to get to
Land’s End. It is the most westerly point of mainland Cornwall and England. The
view here is stunning. Tips: Pay a visit during sunset because the view will be
breathtaking. During the summer, the sun will only set at around 2100H, so plan
your visit wisely! Besides that, you do not need to pay the parking fee (which is £3.00 per parking) after 1700H.

Our last stop of the day was at St. Michael’s Mount. The
drive took us 30 minutes from Land’s End. St. Michael’s Mount is a tidal island
which is 366m off the Mount’s Bay coast of Cornwall. During low tide, you can
normally walk to the island because there is a man-made causeway of granite
setts. However, please be careful as it might be slippery. During the trip, we
did not walk to the island because I was having a dinner with a mate in
Falmouth. Tips: On your way, please try not to miss a church where the crucifix
is made out of surfboards! Fun-fact: St Michael’s Mount is one of the 43
tidal islands (unbridged) in Britain you can walk to from the mainland!
