Cornwall Road Trip Diary: Part Two

Here is a final photo diary from our road trip through the beaches of Cornwall! The second leg of our trip was jam packed. With our van parked at Fistral Beach on Saturday and Sunday, we had waves of people stopping by to check out our DIY table, scope out the van and learn about Free People. The hair plaiting was a hit (what we call a braid here in the states is actually called a “plait” over there!) — it was so fun to see all of the different styles that girls were requesting. With long work days that went into the night, the early morning yoga sessions with Aimee at Synergy Yoga Studio was exactly what I needed. I hadn’t done yoga in a while, so it was so nice to take an hour and let go of all the stresses. It really encouraged me to start taking more classes back here in Philly!

After Fistral Beach, we drove through the countryside and made it to Polzeath. We spent a day here, meeting people and exploring the town.

We were so lucky to have great weather during this trip. The sun was out most days and the temperatures were perfect. The beaches of Cornwall are absolutely amazing. When the tide is low, the beaches almost triple in size, making it a trek to reach the water’s edge. Some of my favorite moments of the trip were taking a few minutes to explore the cliffs up above and look back down at the packed beach. These were some of the most beautiful views I have ever seen, and in those moments, it really made me appreciate the experience I had been given. I have traveled to many parts of the U.S., but I’m fairly new to traveling outside of the country. Seeing different landscapes and experiencing a new culture made me eager to see more parts of the world.

The Free People Cornwall Road Trip was an experience I won’t forget. I look forward to seeing the UK again soon one day!

Great photos! There’s nothing better than summer travel! The photo of the strawberries was my favorite, they look absolutely delicious.
