In the morning we took a boat trip to see the seals out in the bay. Mum and Dad had recommended this, and the guys running it told us it would be free if we didn't see any. They needn't have worried, seals there were aplenty, wonderful views too.
We had a light but delicious lunch on the waterfront and then spent the afternoon exploring the shallow water in the harbour. The tide was out, and wading through the calm water on the beach revealed no end of interesting sea life. We saw hundreds of hermit crabs (including one that was enormous!), crabs, fish, crayfish and even a large flatfish that sped off at a rate of knots from its hiding place in the sand as I approached.
On any other kind of holiday a day like this might feel wasted, but we really enjoyed having a lazy day in one place to get some rest.
After dinner we headed back to the B&B, and an early night. More cycling tomorrow!
