How to get there
take Route One south
grinding away above our heads, and
the beams of light rotate across the
sky, shining out to the horizon. It’s
a special and dreamlike moment.
Morning comes, and the light-
house falls silent. Downstairs, we
discover the fridge is stocked with
smoked salmon and sliced meats,
bread and cheese, and hard-boiled
eggs. We look out through the cur-
tains as we eat, watching people
buzzing curiously around the build-
ing once more. As we head out for
one last walk around the headland,
we feel like we’re sneaking out of
a secret door. We quietly lock the
lighthouse behind us, and vanish
back into the crowd.
