Getting around
covered in sunshine - other days they look brooding and menacing as the dark mists swirl. As you drive along main strret the mountains are directly in front - reminds me of Banff in Canada - but on a smaller scale. The mountain and seaside location is fabulous. There are many walks and hikes to suit all abilities and there are now plenty of outdoor pursuit centres that offer all kinds of activities from canoeing to rock climbing. There is always plenty to do. The area is beautiful for a drive or you can leave the car behind - hop on a local bus and travel around the coast to sight-see, shop or discover. There is just so much to do in what is really quite a small area. The apartment is right in the middle of town, close to everything.
