This morning I didn't wan tto wake up. I was wraped in a cucoon of warmth, if you've ever been camping you might have experienced something similar. It also happeneds in the winter in Canada when you go to bed with cold sheets and wake up warm and toasty. I didn't want to leave the warms, just to lay there basking in it, but our fairy was due to leave at 9 and we were supposed to be at the warf at 8.45 am.
We eventually made it there but only after downing six layers of clothes, just in case my mother says. To protect me from the wind and the rain I had on long underwear over my normal undergarments, a shirt and jeans, wool socks, a long sleaved shirt, a worm sweater and then I brought with me my coat and a rain jacket.
The water was beautiful and I enjoyed the tour emencely although we did not see any dolfins we got to see the Bay of Islands and they were gorgius. The sea was ruff and the boat went over many swells. I thought it was fun and I didn't mind the cold or the wet.
After the tour we came back to the mouse trap and ate hot soup to warm ourselves up as well as sandwiches, apples and hot chocolate. Then we took a nap for an hour. After our nap we went out to explore more of the town. We found two internet access areas and a little gift shop that has affordable key chains that I want to get.
The shops closed aorunf 5 today, they seem to hold fast to the tradition of not working on sundays. We met up with the grandparents at a seafood corner restaurant and ate fish and chips for 7$ which was a good deal, we got a fish fillet, a sausage and lots of chips. It was served in the traditional paper maner like in lundon England and everything was covered in salt.
Mese really tired, sorry for the undeatailed post

sunday
Yeah I like it better when everything is closed on Sunday, like the time we went to Halifax, then Sunday's are so nice and peaceful so its actually different than just any other day of the week. I believe that Ontario used to have that rule too when we were born...or at least according to my parents.
