24. Family Day Out
Jul. 19th, 2009 12:23 pmSo yesterday my parents and myself took a little boat trip to the gorgeous Rathlin Island which is just off the coast of Northern Ireland near the Giants Causeway. It really was a fantastic day. Mum and I walked 11 miles and in going I completed one of my 101 Things in 1001 Days and started another.
101 Things in 1001 Days
74. Go on a picnic
96. See 5 animals (zoos do not count) and 5 plants you haven't seen before. (2/10)
I saw seals and puffins! I am still over excited about this one. When I was a kid I fell completely in love with puffins and I finally got to see one! I stood on a bird watching platform with incredible binoculars and watched them in their nests and washing down below me on the grassy slopes!
The seals were also amazing. I inched out on rocks and seaweed to come within 10 metres of one sunbathing and got to watch 5 of them playing about in the water.
And whats this? Could it be photos of the trip and of the seals?
( Of course it is )
