Tour de England





Starting out at 6 AM from the train station in Hook with just a small backpack and a bicycle, I decided to take a trip down to the seaside, get in touch with my inner hippie, and visit St. Ives, St. Austell, Penzance, Morazion, and everywhere in between. Riding about 10-12 miles a day on Saturday and Sunday, going around the coast was really fun but very tiring. Saturday I went through St. Austell out to The Eden Project, which is a huge center housing several geodesic domes(green houses) and home to plants from everywhere in the world. 

I'd say these are the largest greenhouses I've ever seen. Thats not even all of it, there's another set of structures behind me, a huge bridge and an ice skating rink.

This is made from the average amount of garbage a person throws away in their lifetime; tons, literally-3.3 tons(or tonnes as the English like to spell it).
