Hike to Plymouth Aquarium








I'm not sure who's bright idea it was to get the train to Plymouth instead off driving but we did. We went the wrong way as soon as we got out of the station, but then the gps found us and we navigated by iphone. It was downhill all the way which is always worrying, but there were no signs, we were walking on the sides of a 6 lane road, inhaling car fumes for 50 minutes before we found the aquarium. At this stage, we were bored and went for lunch instead but I fear we are turning into each other as we often have the same meals.

Inside the aquarium, it has my loves - starfish and turtles, the are fantastic to photograph. It was a day for surveys though, Ali got roaped into completing a huge survey on the train (which she later regretted), and then we had on on sharks in the aquarium (do we have suckers written on our heads).

On our way back uphill, passed the cars and fumes, it absolutely tipped down which really cheered me up.
