now the mister knows me better than i know myself. knowing that i like the idea of the sea, but would never survive the night on a boat, he booked us into a lighthouse ;) i mean, who'd have thought of that?! (not me) and he kept it a surprise so i thought we were randomly walking along the sea wall because the mister, bless him, is curious that way, when suddenly he stops in front of this little lighthouse. all along i'd been bracing myself to spend the night on a little fishing boat so to realise we were going to be on solid ground was such a comfort.
it was a tiny lighthouse, unmanned but functional. so if it's just one night, it was quite novel to have the green light flashing every now and again (we'd eye masks for sleeping time) and to hear the waves lap against the shore. thank goodness the ships had left by bed time. no creaky rocking and no fishing boats tooting their horn.
the supremely well-appointed bathroom even had a raintree shower. how awesome is that?! a raintree shower in a lighthouse. my mind is still reeling.
and breakfast the next morning was delivered in a hamper, which we promptly unpacked and ate in bed :)
