“We struck some weather here and there but the days were essentially beautiful. The country itself was first and foremost absolutely beautiful,” Berneice says.
“The waves, the coast, and the beauty and the amazing colours of the sea are what stands out in my mind. The sea and the waves were coming in very hard but it was really very beautiful.”
