There is lots of all kinds of accommodation available within the town and surrounding area, there are also a couple of good wineries to visit.

Whale-watching: fully booked.Swimming with dolphins: fully booked.Kayaking with seals: fully booked.***Despite liberally applying some SPF30 to myself the day before I still managed to get sunburnt across the back of my neck and on my nose, and with there being no point to me heading into the water I decided to spend the day hiding from the sun.

This morning I went hiking around the area for about 3 hours, but took
it easy since it snowed heavily here yesterday and the roots of a bunch of trees to be covered in ice. So they looked
