eden project adventure

I have travelled (almost) the breadth of the country to visit my family in Kernow for the weekend. We decided to go and play at the Eden Project today, somewhere I have never actually visited despite my family having lived here for 9 years!

We decided to go to the tropical one first, and man was it h.o.t. So much so that the lens of my camera kept steaming up, making photo-taking quite an interesting endeavour.

I'll only be in Cornwall another day or two, so I wonder what other adventures I will get up to while I'm here! Have any of you been to Cornwall?
