Wednesday 5th August 2009
Finished classes early after completing the quiz and went down to the harbour.
Split into two groups. The first group went off in the highspeed inflatable to visit one of the Island Nature Reserves. The area is popular with the Common Seal and we saw adult and baby seals close up to the boat.
We moved on to another island with the lighthouse where the larger Grey Seals live. They are not as tame as the Common Seals and kept their distance from our boat. A good afternoon and everyone got wet!
Returned to the harbour and the second group went out to see what we had seen.
Stopped off at Starbucks Cafe on the way back and will return there this evening.
During our travels we are noting some of the shows being advertised and will go on our last night next week.

miércoles
Acabamos las clases antes, tuvimos un concurso antes de acabar y nos fuimos al puerto. Nos separamos en dos grupos. El primer grupo partio a gran velocidad para visitar una Isla protegida. La zona es famosa por estar habitada por focas marinas y nosotros tuvimos la gran suerte de ver a las focas y a sus bebes muy cerca de nuestro barco. Pasamos una tarde estupenda y todos nos mojamos a pesar de llevar toda esa ropa impermeable! (afortunadamente hacia mucha calor ese dia)
Estamos viendo muchos carteles anunciando shows para el festival que empieza el domingo y estamos buscando los mas divertidos para empezar a reservar, hay tantos que parecen interesantes que es dificil elegir!
