Return to Day 8 - Part 1 - Inland Sea

St Lawrence site for more Game of Thrones filming (the Dothraki camp) but we arrived 4.5 years too late for the Azure Window which collapsed in March 2017...
 
The whole area was one huge fossil site - fossilised beach...

Our last meal out was at Margo's - still sticking to our eat-in-the-street approach, the white van backdrop sets off the scene beautifully.

It was a fantastic meal, including the best mussel dish I've ever had. They keep everything in-house and even brew their own beer.
