After we returned to town we went to visit the church. After a tour of the church we went to the Bakery for lunch. We had some good buns, tea, and some sweets. I bought a sweater from the women's cooperative store. We then went to the Whale Museum and read everything. It was a great museum and spent about 2 hours there. We came back to the room and rested for awhile. We then we to the grocery store before 8PM and got some self-catering stuff for dinner. We had a feast in the room and watched a couple of movies (Superstar and Bedazzled).
