Even through the sky was grey and it was still raining a bit this morning, I went with Iris on a trip to the Fisgard Lighthouse and by the time we arrived, it had stopped raining. Since we went there during the off-season, we didn't even have to pay an entrance fee this time. However, the exhibitions were closed. We didn't mind, though, since we didn't come to see the exhibitions anyway - we were more interested in the beautiful nature and the amazing scenery all around us.
Right after we arrived at the fort and checked out the battery, we discovered two deer and a lot of geese. After they had fled, we walked around the fort area for a while. It seemed amazing how many birds lived in the trees in this area; we could hear them sing their songs all the time. We took several short but a little more remote and challenging paths in order to get better views of the ocean. All the while, we kept walking closer to the lighthouse. When we found a spot where we could see the lighthouse as well as the beach, the ocean, and the faraway city, we decided to sit down and have some lunch. Our lunch mainly consisted of a salad which we had bought at the supermarket the day before. By now, the sun was even showing sometimes and thus the water of the ocean was sparkling in the light of the sun.
After lunch, we walked to the lighthouse. Unfortunately, we couldn't go into the lighthouse and we also couldn't look around the lighthouse for too long as there was some filming going on.
On the way back to the bus stop we saw another deer - this time it was definitly a male one. It was walking quite close to the road, which worried us since it was almost running into a passing car a few times. Luckily, nothing happened and the deer even stood still for us to take pictures.
Back Downtown, I went with Iris to some store we had seen the day before. Here, she bought a 'Pusheen the cat' plushie, which was really cute. Then, we went to my place and stayed there for a little bit.
In the evening, Katrina went with Iris and me as well as with Tuulia to the Silvercity cinema where we watched 'The Girl on the Train', a really interesting but quite confusing movie.
