Feeling some nervous with the Japan Trip

Yes we're going to Japan, it's planned from 3 or 4 months ago, and I always wanted to visit this special Country, I hope to feel something different with they...

We'll be 20 days in total visiting Tokyo, Kyoto, Osaka, Yokohama, Hiroshima, etc... so I'll try to create a proper idea of Japan.

See you later to post some photos!!!

Cheers,

I love Cornwall

We went to Cornwall for 2 days and finally I'll never say that England hasn't awesome beaches.



Regarding Cornwall, we found The Minack Theater, some footpaths from the Minack Theater to the Land's End.



The Minack Theater is an old Roman Theater, as you know, Romans were specially clever, and this theater was built in a wonderful landscape, so Romans could see their exhibitions with a dramatic sea landscape on the background.



Walking to the Land's End, we breathed fresh air and enjoyed a sunbath while we're stepping on a green-full path with some small beaches in the middle of our way.



The next day we visited The Mount Saint Michael for some hours, just in the magic hour...

This lovely region in the sunset, with a narrow layer of water over the huge sands of his beach, the sun reflects magically over the earth, perfect to do some experiments with our camera.



Finally, we discovered the crossing walkside over the Low tide and the high tide. It was funny walking through the low tide over this "old stone" sidewalk to the Saint Michele Island, where stays a mystical Castle and his small harbour.

¡ Simplemente precioso !

Bristol Balloon Fiesta

One of the most beautiful festivals of Bristol is the Balloon Fiesta in Ashton Court. We could enjoy gorgeous Balloon over green landscapes and lots at same time. Simply colorful and beautiful.

The festival was so crowd and full of fans, and to make it more awesome, when the dark falls over us, they manage a spectacular music choreography.

Bristol Docks and Harbour

Bristol Harbour is an old side water walk with different unexpected findings. In one hand you can find old buildings, construction working areas and some new uglies buildings.

In my opinion, the best part is the oldest, where you can see some evidence of the industrial harbour and the color fisherman houses.

These houses are painted in colours because, the fishermen who lived there, used the same painting buckets for their boats, curious!

Following the old part you can discover the Brunel's SS Great Britain Ship, this old ship stays in the Bristol's Harbor as a Touristic point. It was one of the ships with the longest trip around the world of his age. This iron-hulled, steam-powered ship navigated to trade people from UK to New York at the XIX century.

Stonehenge & Old Wardour Castle

Stonehenge:

We went to our first most touristic place, Stonehenge.

It's a wellknown place for much people and unknown for someones, but I think it's a lovely place where you can imagine mystical symbolism and histories related with these stones.

Here you can see the air photograph:

If you try to erase all the tourists visiting at same time with you, these special circle of stones offers you a magical landscape where thousands of years ago some men tried to practise cult to the strength and the weather seasons, because all the stones are settled respect the year's seasons and produces different lights and shadows in each season.

Old Wardour Castle:
Well, hehe, we went here, because it was close to the Stonehenge and our GPS recommend us to visit this Castle, so... ok let's go.

We found a wedding into the Castle, meanwhile some visitors could enter to the rest of the rooms and take some photos of this Romantic half destroyed Castle. Beautiful and a little kitch to find this wedding.

Supension Bridge and Ashton Court

Following the rare sunny days, some days ago, we toke advantage of it and we went to the Suspension Bridge of Clifton near Ashton Court in Bristol.

This bridge is well known for everybody because is the longest bridge in suspension of England, so the resulting landscape becomes awesome.

This bridge cross through the river Avon, at this moment some flooded in upper regions of his way, here the cliffs are enough tall to resist the extremely raining of these days.

Driving a 1 mile more to the West, we found the Ashton Court Park. Really green, fresh, big, and beauty.

In this park, some times People celebrate Music and Cultural Festivals, and the common days you can enjoy the park, the forests, the footpaths and some special for us, Golf.

Golf here seems more common and close to people, because we saw how lots of people pay the day-rate to play golf, and it's cheap! It's interesting how the rules changes in each country with his weather and nature.
