We were up quite early this morning, our email had said that we would be getting picked up from our hotel between 8am and 8.20am so we had our breakfast at the hotel at 7.00am then packed the rest of our things. The email had also said travel light and leave any big luggage at your hotel but we are not coming back to this hotel so we were taking everything. We got a phone call to say they would be picking us up at 7.50am so we then had to rush a little. We got do...

We got breakfast at our hotel this morning then went back to our room to decide what to do today. James had a few bits to do on the computer, we had booked this hotel with a PC in the room so that a few jobs could be done here. Then we started looking at where to go we decided on the Women's museum first, it was about midday by the time we got there.

The 5.00am alarm wasn't fun but our taxi would be coming at 6.00am and we have to check in for our ferry at 6.30am.

There were quite a few people waiting for the ferries as there were a few going to different places. We checked in and then had to wait, the ferry was late coming so didn't arrive until 7.30am so we'd been there a good ...

We had already made a plan that we wouldn't be doing much today. After our late night we slept until midday then went to get breakfast at the hotel restaurant. We then just chilled through the afternoon, late afternoon we went to get some more water and bit for tomorrow morning as we set off so early we won't get breakfast. Also we went to get some pizza for tea. Later on we decided to have a last swim before we leave as we don't know when or where our next pool ...
