Northumberland - Tuesday 15th July - Day 5

I think it's fair to say we were all feeling quite tired today. Some real downtime was needed to we decided not to push it too much. The sun had got his hat on again, so we decided after breakfast to head to Holy Island for a little walk around. Master B was particularly keen to see the causeway.

We parked up on the island and were surprised by the number of people there and the coaches too! Got to say that Northumberland public toilets are some of the worst we have used. The ones on the island were not much better. C'mon Northumberland! Perhaps you should learn some lessons from Florida in the USA, which have some of the best public toilets...

Anyway, we walked up to the castle and around the village and stopped for some ice cream. We then headed back for a bit of a lazy afternoon of movies, reading and watching the fisherman land their catch in the harbour.

After a nice dinner cooked in the cottage, we headed to the Jolly Fisherman again for a snifter before heading in for the night. Well, we did have a foray out to play a bit of football over in the park, but it was nothing too strenuous...
