On Sunday a small group of us girls learned on our own how to use the trains here in England and found our way to Bodmin Parkway. We then had to take a taxi cab from there into Tintagel. Our cab ride was actually quite funny because we were stopped by a herd of cows. As our cab approached the herd in the road. The herder or farmer halted us to stop so he could lead the cows on around our car and out through the road. The ride was also quite the experience because the roads were so narrow, it made us nervous to pass other cars alongside. Once we reached Tintagel, we took the footpath down to the castle remains. The steps up and down the hills were SUPER steep but very exciting too. I would say that this was my paradise, the most beautiful place I have ever seen with my own eyes. We learned a little about Arthurian legend and Merlon's cave of mystery. Supposedly this was the site of King Arthur's birth and the Knight's of the Round Table. After our extreme hike we found lunch at a little cafe and tea inside a cozy pub.
