3 days last week

who still hasn't blogged about our 3 day trip last week to western england?  
oh yeah, me.
and since we're leaving tomorrow for another 3 day trip to scotland i figured i better get on top of this.
here it goes:

{Day 1}
Chauten, Winchester Cathedral and Bath

What's in Chauten you might ask?  Only Jane Austen's humble abode


the whole gang out front
Winchester was quite literally gorgeous from floor to ceiling.


Bath felt like you stepped into a time machine.  Roman architecture is  everywhere and i highly recommend the museum and it's extremely stylish audio tour devices
 the Royal Crescent
making a fashion statement at the roman bath museum

{Insert stay at Bath Hostile, which was a bit dingy, but better than expected} 


{Day 2}
Glastonbury, The Tor, Wells (NOT Wales) and Ilfracombe

Glastonbury: home of 'King Arthur's Grave,' sarcastic monks and the mystical Tor


the ruins of Glastonbury
Stopping to smell the flowers on our way up to the Tor
 
Due to the fact that we climbed more than our fair share of stairs that morning to reach the Tor a photo shoot at the top was more than justified to make up for our burning lungs and thighs


Next was Wells Cathdral.
Beautiful.
No pictures allowed.
I did however eat a Cornish Pasty (soft 'a' please) which was divine


Last was Ilfracombe. 
My favorite stop of the trip because:
a. it was on the coast


b. Giovanni & Luca italian restaurant 

c. Sunsets & my feet in the sand 


d. Jack Johnson playing in the shops and Quiksilver posters in the hostile pretty much making me feel right at home 

{Day 3}
Goodbye to Ilfracombe, Tintagel and Exeter  


Dear Ilfracombe,
I will miss you, but not the traditional English breakfast we ate while we were there.
Love, Carly


Next Tintagel, fake castles and drop offs on all four sides


and the only picture i really like from Exeter...is the door
