We looked at a large water tank once part of the sawmill complex, I did not see any newts.  

We arrived at our accommodation situated on an island in the river.   We had a meal at a restaurant with the most wonderfully scented lime tree outside.   It felt as if it might rain, but we got back unscathed.  

I enjoyed a bath and we slept well.
