After a lie-in and breakfast Maxi and I went to one of the numerous activity centres, where we booked what we wanted to do over the next few days. It was a shop too, selling lots of things from and to do with the area, and I decided to buy a beautiful bracelet with wolf charms and little blue-black glittering stone spheres, and a simple string necklace with a wooden black bear pendant. After lunch we took a walk to Tonquin Park, where there's a walking trail through the rainforest and access to a beach, which was really nice. It was cloudy but dry, and the sun broke through now and again.
While in the supermarket buying lunch and dinner supplies, Maxi suggested rice and fish for that evening, so when we came across a box of jambalaya-spiced rice, I suggested we buy that, a couple of vegetables and some seafood to add to it. She agreed and we had an easy, filling and very very tasty meal! After dinner we went to Jack's, the pub at the other end of the village where I'd been during the Moose trip. We arrived just as open-mic night was starting, and it gradually got busier. The musicians were all good, and their instruments and styles varied. One guy - to my utter, absolute and sheer delight - went up with a bodhran. For those who don't know what that is, it's an Irish type of handheld drum. It's pronounced "bow-rawn" and I sat enthralled.
