A Walk along the Coast


This morning we caught a bus to Sausmarez Manor. Sadly, this was not as interesting as expected so we walked down to the coast where there was a beautiful beach called Fermain Bay. This, as the photograph shows, could have been an exotic location on a tropical island. It was very lovely and we were able to sit in a restaurant, overlooking this view, and enjoy a coffee and a chat to some very friendly locals.

Next, we decided to walk the three miles back to the boat along the coastal path. This proved more challenging than we had expected because of the number of steps that we encountered. However, it was well worth while and nicely worked off the cream tea that I should not have had with the coffee this morning. One amusing incident was it is not only the local people that are friendly. I can only assume that the local wild rabbit population do not have many enemies locally because I was able to walk unusually close to them.
