The stargazing
didn't happen as it clouded over, and when we walked down to the
Whale Watch place to see if we could get on a cruise, all
sessions had been cancelled again, as the sea was really choppy.
Don't really feel like being green, even for whales.
Instead we decided to
walk the coastal path down to a seal colony. It took us about 3
hours there and back, and we must have walked about 7 miles!
Everything hurts! But we saw seals. Right at the end you could walk
up a vertical hill to the top, and look down on the colony, but we
were so knackered by that time, and we had the walk back, so we gave
up, but got to see some. Perhaps we might drive down tomorrow and
just do the uphill walk.
He isn't dead, honest! we saw him moved
Trying again for the
night sky, if not it will be another wild night in town.
Lovely - seals always look so contented I think.
ReplyDeleteHope the hill was worth it eventually ...
