The weather was a bit windy with the odd shower, but mostly fine. There were not many people out and about on the street, so it was a bit slow going.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We were keen to get some mussels, but apparently the boats didn&#8217;t go out today. There were lots of lovely restaurants and cafes around, but unfortunately a little expensive for us. We did however enjoy the picturesque scenery. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We stayed from 12.00-4.00pm, with 20 people praying the salvation prayer with us, hallelujah!
