A very lazy start to the day. Out of bed at 9:00, a lazy, relaxed breakfast. I eventually went to the laundromat at 11:30.

After the laundry was done, I did a very perfunctory bike cleaning, really I just cleaned the drive trains and oiled them.

Ralf went to the supermarket to get lunch and dinner. After dinner we went for a walk up to the historic life boat station.

We thought the light house was there as well, but it wasn’t.

There are some very funky little shops in this Town.

The mural on the wall of the cinema was cool, how many movies can you spot.  Yes the Sound of Music is pictured.

It was nice to go for a walk through the Town and to the life boat station together.

When we got to the museum, they were about to close, but the volunteers kindly stayed open for a little while longer.

The lifeboat station and museum is at the top of a very large hill, when they had to launch the lifeboat, they went down over 100 steps to the lifeboat. The museum was interesting, it has some rooms set up as they would have been when the coast guards lived there.  Including a very cosy loo!

Why was the station at the top of the hill? Because the lumber company owned the land around the dock and gave them the piece of land at the top of the hill for the life boat station!

We had a lovely dinner in our little cabin. The internet was very sporadic, and I was unable to update the blog.

We will check the weather tomorrow at the Port Orford weather station, hopefully it will be a  nice day.
