Day 6 - swimming with seals & seeing Birds of prey
After a good sleep, we didn't get up till 7.30 which was not a problem as it was indicated to us that it would be preferable if we waited till 8.30 for breakfast. We found out why as the breakfast room seated 6 and was still full at 8.30. Malcolm burnt the toast and Sally burnt the kippers and both set off the fire alarm, ensuring we were fully …
