Last week we went down to Cornwall for a few days to celebrate our Silver Wedding Anniversary (25 years). The main reason for choosing Cornwall was to visit the Eden Project, which was something I had wanted to do for ages.
Upon leaving the car parks and walking down through the entrance the first thing that hits you is the view of the Biomes. They are big and really impressive.
We headed straight for the Rainforest Biome. 
It was humid and full of mature trees and plants. I particularly liked the red flowers of the Pineapple Ginger.
We walked up to the higher paths of the canopy. 
We crossed the rope bridge but it was a bit wobbly!
After leaving the Rainforest Biome we headed for the Mediterranean Biome. I liked the terracotta pots of flowers.
And some beautiful Lillies.
I posed by some pink Bougainvillia.
There were some deep russet flowers in the Australian section.
Outside were some lovely flower beds and I spotted a bee in a scabia.
A large wicker bee took us by surprise.
But then we spotted a metal butterfly.
The deep purple poppies were really gorgeous.
For an extra £30 you can have a go on the zip wire but that’s not for me!.
We were also lucky with the weather in that it was a warm day and we managed to escape the rain.
The Eden project has many different areas to see and is well worth a visit.
