A day by the sea

We slept very well in our cabin. The power didn’t come back on, but it wasn’t too cold. This morning, breakfast was at 8.30am as it was a free day. It was very cloudy, but dry and mild, so we ate our food overlooking the sea! We were joined by several kelp gulls, so called because they feed on the seaweed along the coast.

After breakfast, we went back to our cabin. The power was still off, but we were able to edit our photos on the laptop. Later, we went for a walk along the coast to take some photos. The waves crashing over the rocks were truly spectacular – and very noisy!! There are lots of well-appointed cabins with stunning sea views. It must be a lovely place to spend a holiday in the summer months!

We ended up in the restaurant as, despite the power outage, the wi-fi was still working there. We were joined by two coach loads of Japanese tourists who came in for a steak and salad lunch. They cooked the steaks on the gas grill and, with no extractor fans working, the place soon filled with smoke! We didn’t stay long!!

The power finally came back on at about 4pm. It was getting cold and dark, so we went back to the cabin, put the heating on, and listened to music until it was time for dinner. On the menu this evening was battered fish fillets with rice, vegetables, and chakkalakka. We didn’t hang around too long after dinner as it was really cold!!Read more
