Eden Project (in Cornwall)

IMG_0894 (1)

I had read about the Eden Project and I suggested to Matt that we should see it on the way to Penzance. I didn’t know much about it other than it being about working towards a better future through nature. Or something along those lines. We arrived around 15:00 and had an hour or so left until the park closed. It was a little rainy when we arrived but luckily it stopped shortly after, yay! I absolutely loved the place, the variety of flowers and trees were amazing and I loved the domes. Although we only saw one of them because one of them was shut due to a wedding (I actually snuck inside that one anyway for a peak since they were just setting things up). They also had very delicious ice cream and a great souvenir store. Honestly one of the best souvenir stores I’ve ever visited. I think my favorite part of Eden was the rainforest biome, it kinda takes me back to Ecuador which makes me feel like being home in a way.

Hopefully next year I will visit Eden again. I talked to Matt about it and we figured since we can get in for free all next year we might as well plan a little trip for it. Perhaps some other people will come along too.

I have divided ‘Eden’ into two posts due to the amount of photos I want to share. I’ve already deleted a lot and selected the photos I think are worth sharing. However, I am still left with a BUTT load ? as you will soon discover…

You gotta pick a path to get ‘down’ to the domes

We realized you can “fly” above Eden too!

It seems pretty intense, but fun!

The domes are so much bigger than they seem
