UK and CornwallBefore the long, adventurous trip to Ascension Island I stopped over in England for a couple of days in the end of October 2005 to visit a couple of friends. First stop was London where my girlfriend from high school, Birgitte, is spending half a year as exchange student. |

After visiting Birgitte I took the train to Falmouth in picturesque Cornwall to say hi to old friends Bella, Andy and Jay from my time in the Caribbean.
Here's a Halloween pumpkin in the pub. |

The photos don't show it, but it rained during almost my entire stay in Falmouth. An early November morning I left for the Brize Norton RAF base to fly to Ascension Island. |
