Farne Islands
Here is the text with emojis added, which makes the travel notes more vivid and interesting: Specific location: Farne Islands πΊοΈ 3 - hour drive from Newcastle. (From the map, it seems that Edinburgh is closer to it.) You can see groups of puffins, terns, auks, seals, and seagulls. π§π¦’π¦π¦ First, let's talk about the route: Take the X15 at Platform Q in Haymarket. Get off at Alnwick bus station and transfer to the X18. Get off at King Street and walk for 5 minutes to the pier (Seahouses). Find any open ticket - office to buy a boat trip. β Serenity Farne Island Boat Tours The tour lasts 2 hours, Β£25 per person. β οΈ It should be noted that the afternoon business hours end at 15:00. But if you arrive at 14:59 like us, you have to run to the pier to see which ticket office is still open. π The latest boat departs at 15:15. The next one is the 19:00 departure for the sunset tour. π Since it was an impromptu decision, we hadn't finished washing up when we decided to set off. We missed the X18 departing at 11:08 (you can take the X18 all the way to the destination without transferring). So we chose the next route departing at 11:27 which requires a transfer. But it's recommended to set off a bit earlier if possible. π Puffins really look like penguins. π§π§ When looking at the puffins up close, I suddenly noticed a seal lying on the rocks to the left of the boat. It wasn't afraid of people at all, leisurely sunbathing. π€ We went to another small island. Six or seven seals were playing in the waves. When the boat left, three seals chased after it swimming. π€© The boat guide would keep asking about everyone's travel experience and interacting with us. I pointed to a jellyfish floating on the water and asked the boat guide if it was still alive. He said: "If it's sparkling, it's alive, 'like this! sparkling'". π #Puffin #FarneIslands #Newcastle #NewcastleUniversity #GotoSeatheSeaTogether #Seal #Auk #Edinburgh #EdinburghUniversity
