Breakfast today was a delicious pumpkin toast with cinnamon, cloves, ginger and maple syrup topped off with cream (with bacon on the side too), preceded by fresh melon - and the usual orange juice and coffee.
We met Richard at his hotel where he told us that his luggage arrived safely... at 4 in the morning! We sauntered along the beach, stopping to enjoy the seals lazing on the rocks and we watched birds and squirrels too. There were lots of kayaks and swimmers, everyone wanting to be close to the seals... and the beach was crowded even though it was a muggy, overcast morning.
We walked quite a way north along the waterfront (probably about 3 miles or thereabouts), alternately passing grand mansions on the right overlooking the ocean and coves and beaches on the left - at one stage we found ourselves walking by yet another crowded beach... thousands of people, and lots of noise! Eventually we made it to Scripps pier... only to find it closed to public access! Ah well, the lengthy walk would certainly have burned off a few pounds (or, at least, ounces).
Then it was back to the B&B to put our feet up, help ourselves to complimentary cookies and coffee before settling down to check and double check arrangements for tomorrow... paperwork, photographer/videographer, officiant, final check on the all important wedding outfits etc. By the time we'd fired off a couple of emails it was time for the cheese and wine (could become quite habit forming)... and then off we toddled to meet up with Richard again to head off in search of today's evening meal.
Big day tomorrow, so an early night tonight - lights out by 10:45 pm.
