Things To Do First

In your lifetime why not visit a lighthouse! There are many different types all over the place and they serve, or did serve a very important purpose! They make for brilliant photos from the outside and inside. From the top of the spiralling staircases you would get a brilliant view of the surrounding areas. Inside you would also be able to get a feel of what it would be like to work and live in one of them. Where they sleep, how they eat and so on, as well as finding out many interesting facts about the lighthouse along the way!

Henna, also known as Mendi is an amazing thing to watch being done, and one simply must try it themselves. It is difficult at times to keep the hands still and fingers apart while the design is intricately placed on the front and back of your hands. It is amazing how many different varieties of designs can be put on and the steadiness of the persons hands as they do not make a mistake. Afterwards is a long waiting process as you cannot touch anything with your hands for a few hours as your hands dry, and lemon is applied to the design. The longer it is left on, the darker the colour will be on your hands. When it is dry you can either wait for it to fall off or lightly wash it off for the design underneath to appear. The design usually lasts for up to a week.

Walking or canoeing for 4 days or more with camping in between really makes you realise how much you appreciate your warm bed at home. Waiting half an hour for a stove to boil water makes you realise how much quicker your hob, microwave or oven is at home! But also, the thought of getting through those few days when you thought you wouldn’t manage it is also such an achievement! There are also many expeditions abroad that you could join in just a few clicks!
