The Eden Project thing

This post is going to have significantly more pictures, possibly some that should have been vetted, sorry Doogle. 

Yesterday afternoon we went to see some biodome things. It was pretty interesting. I'm not quite sure what they achieved but I assume it was something to do with sustainability. I think that makes me a bad human being.


There was a sweet wooden horse:
There was some wacky furry plants:
Got a pic (below) especially for Dad Dad. Apparently pine trees are also required somewhere in the sustainability/biodiversity equation so I guess you can be safe in the knowledge that you might still have a job after the apocalypse.
I'm a bit lost as to why the statues in the picture below were in the biome. I think it was something to do with greek mythology. The bull was the god of plants but then he fermented some grapes and drank the juice and got hammered drunk and started smashing the place up (tables, chairs, jokers arms, birds backs, christ could he break things!). So I guess the lesson is: When the apocalypse happens and we retreat into fragile plastic buildings, don't feed the bull alcohol or he will probably cause another mini apocalypse.

This dude (below) was pretty awesome. He was made out of bits of rubbish.

We also saw some rare blue arrow lizards which have a remarkable resemblance to plastic blue arrows. Hayden said that they are actually named after Dr Bluearrow though, and it is a mere coincidence that they happen to look like plastic blue arrows as well. One major problem in the rainforest biome was that it was so damn hot. I guess it would still be cooler in there than an apocalyptic wasteland though.

After wandering around we went to watch some hippies play some music and then some more hippies do some circus stuff. Quite a few hippies around we noticed.

For dinner we went to a pub in Camelford, I was dead set on having camel for dinner (when in rome) but it wasn't on the menu for some reason.
