Torquay

One of the reasons that I chose to come to Exeter for my Masters was the sea around the Southwest of England. I love to sit on the beach thinking about things, it really helps to clear your mind for the new beginning. I also love to read and walk around for fresh air BUT NO SUN BATHING!! hehehe I am not like any farangs who get 'red' and 'tan', I get 'black' hahha and it will take me ages to get back to my normal colour, actually I even doubt that!!

Anyway, so I visited the beach, the first place I went was Torquay (pronounced as Tor-Key), I did a lot of mispronunciations with the names of places and roads in England, they have TONS of unique names and they name each and every road they have!! but that's another story.
Well, the first time I went to Torquay was with the Thai society, Thai students from the same uni, but I did not get to walk around much. So I went again with my classmates (8 of us), by the train which took like 40-45 minutes (£2.50 return ticket, it was on promotion, buy one get one free!!

).
We were quite lucky because the Sun was shining!!! (We really appreciate the Sun here, as we do not get to see much of the sun shine). We all walked along the beach, with no sand

due to high tides, but we did not really care, and just enjoyed the fresh air, the sun shine and ice-creamsssss!!!

We were like kids, running towards the ice-cream shop, it was the first time after almost 5 months we were having ice-creams!! so we were a little bit (which were not really a little

) excited.
Then we just walked around the city centre and had lunch. We wanted to stay there longer, but as it was getting into the evening time, the weather became more chilly, and we were all shivering (we went there during February, which was a bad idea

) Overall, it was a really nice trip though, we just wanted to relax from our tiring routine.
