Mount Batten and Firework

Mount Batten and Firework

It was Monday. Do you love Mondays? Probably not. Nobody loves Mondays, but I do. I do really love my Mondays because I have a day off and I can do whatever I want. 

So this Monday I had lovely walk in place where I haven't been before- Mount Batten. 

I live in Plymouth two and a half years and I love to walk in Barbican and on the Hoe and I always wanted to go to other side of the bay. This Monday I did it :) 

Long time ago it was a Royal Air Force station and flying boat base which was opened 1917. It was in use in both World Wars. During the Second World War it was proper target for German air forces. 

How to get there? Easy. Just get water taxi from Mayflower Steps in Barbican, Plymouth. Little pretty yellow boat which will take you to other side in 10 minutes :) It operates every day, all year round :) 

RAF station and flying boat base memorial :) 

Stunning view from water taxi on our bay :) 

This little red ferry goes to my most favorite place- little village called Cawsand. It's adorable little village on the coast. But I will tell you about it next time :) 

But do you love sailing as much as I do? I have such a feeling that I could stay on water forever :D 

There is also Mount Batten Breakwater which is not on these photographs. It's about 280 meters long and every year, in mid August it's closed for everyone because of  British Firework Championship.

Basically fireworks "shoots" exactly from breakwater. And actually Firework Championship is one of biggest firework shows- two days, two evenings full of 15-20 minute long sets from each competing group. Believe me or not, but when I was watching it- I felt myself as 5 years old child :D It's so exiting and beautiful! You definitely have to see it at least once! 

So! 16th and 17th August 2016. I'll see you there :)
