Well we have officially found the spot in the world where the wind blows harder than in Lubbock, Texas: Nordeney! I can honestly say originally I was not looking forward to this part of the trip; cold, wet, wind, and mud doesn't quite roll off the tongue nor sound appealing.
However I was pleasantly surprised.
The original plan would probably have been too much for my body, but the simple tour we had for the Watt was superb. Learning about the different ecological systems and seeing them at work was a chance of a lifetime, and I'm happy I got the opportunity to do so. Dinner afterwards was great as well; the food, drinks, and atmosphere really toppped off the day with a fantastic relaxing note. Walking on the beachside to our hostel was just wonderful.
The bike ride the following day was very much unlike the Berlin tour; instead of battling traffic we battled the elements of nature. I am just not a good cyclist I suppose, but I tried my best to keep up. The sea side view was awesome and learning about the Islands maintenance for its inhabitants and tourist was very informative.
Back to the mainland at the seal center, I thought we were actually going to feed the seals. So when we only got to watch that was a little disappointing, but the seals cute faces force you to smile.
I look forward to a great weekend in Paris, and then for the Novartis lectures and tours in Basal!
