Today was quite cool and cloudy. While it is nice to have the warm sun shine it was also something of a relief to have a cooler day.
Today we visited the birthplace of Captain James Cook, where we a variety of animals, some wood carvings, a large vase (marking where the house used to be) and a museum. The village where Capt Cook was born is no longer there as all the buildings were knocked down many years ago.
Here are some of today's photos.
