Notes: This series originally ran on Fuji TV's noitaminA block from July to September 2009.
The story centres on Mirai, a middle school freshman girl who goes to Tokyo's artificial Odaiba Island for a robot exhibition with her brother Yuuki at the start of summer vacation. A powerful tremor emanates from an ocean trench, the famed Tokyo Tower and Rainbow Bridge crumble and fall, and the landscape of Tokyo changes in an instant. With the help of a motorcycle delivery woman named Mari, who they meet on Odaiba, Mirai and Yuuki strive to head back to their Setagaya home in western Tokyo.
The disaster film is... *sigh* Let us just say that it is not a genre I am fond of as a whole. It is as a standard often bloated, self-important and frankly dismissive of reality no matter what they say. To be fair, it is not a common one in animé, which is odd when you consider how natural disasters are such a risk in a country like Japan. Maybe it hits too close to home to be comfortable for Japanese audiences and that is a fact that Tokyo Magnitude 8.0 always keeps in mind. It wants to be uncomfortable. It wants to make you think. It also wants you to bawl your eyes out but I will get to that later.
One of the things that strikes me about TM8.0 is how measured it is. Finger pointing is often the favourite pastime of these post-disaster settings and if it is not a person or organisation that gets the blame, then it is often humanity as a whole - in any case, someone is to blame. I know it is ramp up the tension but I have to admit that the 'individuals vs. the world' dynamic has become a little tedious and one of the most interesting things here is that this show never goes for that. TM8.0 is about three people going home, nothing more and nothing less. We just see what they see, hear what they hear, meet whom they meet and that is what you get. The sense of hazard is still there but anyone looking for earthquake-based thrills will be sorely disappointed.
Yes, TM8.0 is in this for the drama but a little more than that too. One of the more interesting things it does (other than destroy Tokyo landmarks, which would probably be more affecting to a native than it is to me) is highlight what would actually happen in the case of such a disaster, not just in terms of damage caused and its after effects, but in terms of the actions of emergency services. It is quite refreshing to see a disaster show where the emergency services are not impotent but a functioning and effective force. The characters rely on them and the service they deliver - they are properly equipped and we see them saving people throughout, providing aid and generally being useful. Even normal people other than protagonists are useful and helpful, brave and strong, even without names or a supporting character credit. Sure, we see a lot of selfishness too amongst the people but it is understandable and not demonising - everyone is just trying to survive.
Other than the disaster itself, the show chooses to focus most heavily on the characters. Mirai, the 'point of view' character for the show and a brooding, self-absorbed middle-schooler, would not be my first choice for a protagonist, but the show makes it work. Disillusioned with her parents and the world in general (as you would expect of a teenager), her naive pessimism certainly makes her an interesting reflection of her brother's naive optimism. The characters as whole seem to act enough like their ages to be effective and emotive, there is nothing precocious about Mirai and Yuuki and it works strongly to the shows benefit. Mostly it works because it lets Mari be an adult. The relationship the group has is clearly that of an adult looking after two children and that allows Mari to be a much more empathetic character. We see her struggle to stay positive and strong under the strain of supporting Mirai and Yuuki whilst harbouring the same doubts for the safety of her family that Mirai and Yuuki have for their parents. Even with only eleven episodes, the characters change and grow but in a human and finite way. I have to applaud the writers for it, their understanding of human beings very evident from the show.
The greatest strength of the show is its humanity. Personal as well as large-scale tragedy is something the characters (and we, by extension) face frequently throughout the show's runtime. Whether it be halls filled with the dead, all their faces covered, with weeping relatives all around or an old man helping out in shelter having lost both his grandchildren, the show manages to make the show more than an interesting look at a possible event but a very real and affecting one as well.
My only complaint, and a minor one at that, is that the show is perhaps too positive -- not that a show can be too positive, or even negative for that matter. I just get concerned when there seems to be nothing really to back up the assertion. Sometimes the show errs on the side of hopefulness and I just wish the show reflected a more pragmatic viewpoint sometimes, something it missed between its pessimism and its optimism.
That all said, TM8.0 is the kind of show of which animé needs more. It has a rough edge or two (it is definitely a little over-sentimental in its hopefulness), but it is an intelligent and reflective show that will almost certainly tug a few heartstrings in all but the most cold-hearted viewer. Watch it.
Recommended Audience: I suspect this would bore anyone younger than a teenager and even if not, they might find some of the imagery and tragic content distressing.

In traditional hard disk, InnoDB page size configuration has relatively small effect on overall performance using sysbench benchmark as seen in Figure 1.
Figure 1. Hard Disk performance with different page sizes and number of threads.
Figure 3. SSD performance with different page sizes and number of threads.
A similar difference is seen on average response times (Figure 4). Using a page size of 32K has no noticeable difference to the default 16K, however the 64K setting has slightly longer response times, but the difference is not significant.
Figure 4. SSD average response time with different page sizes and number of threads.
In non volatile memory (NVM), device page size seems to have a very small effect (Figure 5). Similarly to SSD, a 64K page size has decreased performance but the difference is smaller compared to SSD.
Figure 5. NVM performance with different page sizes and number of threads.
Figure 6. NVM average response time with different page sizes and number of threads.
InnoDB page size setting has no significant performance effect on this benchmark. In both SSD and NVM devices there a is small decrease of performance and increased average response time when a 64K setting is used. However, this benchmark does not prove that there would not be a significant effect on different workloads. So if applications have a need for bigger page sizes, it should be first and foremost be benchmarked to test systems on how page size settings effect application workload. These results clearly show only that with sysbench, like an OLTP workload, there is no significant benefit or disadvantage using different page sizes in InnoDB.

10 Crazy Facts About Crocodilians
Christopher M. Stephens . . . Comments
The undisputed kings of modern reptiles, crocodiles introduce fear, fascination, and a desire for learning in many people. Inhabiting waterways, estuaries, and wetlands across North America, South America, Australia, Asia, and Africa, crocodiles have some rather unusual traits beyond simple hunting prowess. While crocodiles have already found their way into past lists, this article lays out the most outright odd or fascinating facts about these remarkable survivors from an ancient world.
10 Crocodiles Have Eye Crystals To Reflect Moonlight And Starlight
Photo credit: Alias 0591
While we immediately pay attention to their incredible jaws, crocodiles' eyes are equally worthy of close examination. Crocodilian eyes shine brightly at night due to the presence of guanine crystals, which form a layer known as the tapetum lucidum, which is positioned behind the retina. The vertical, slit-shaped pupil can widen at night to accommodate extra light, returning to a narrower position during the daylight hours. As the eye collects light from the stars and Moon, these crystals reflect the light back through the retina, magnifying it and producing a respectable form of night vision. This visual capability allows the animal to hunt effectively in a darkened environment.
In turn, this characteristic eye shine makes crocodiles more vulnerable to predators, particularly in the case of young animals, which face an exceptionally high predation rate before reaching a larger, more mature size. Poaching by humans can have a detrimental effect on populations. Many crocodile hunters with leather or meat in mind will locate the creatures at night by their shining eyes. Reflected, a crocodile's eyes will frequently shine a reddish color, standing out like a beacon.
9 Crocodile Tears

Crocodile tears are a mainstay of popular mythology, but recent scientific investigation at the University of Florida has found them to be a biological reality. Neurology consultant D. Malcolm Shaner at Kaiser Permanente in West Los Angeles was investigating a form of facial palsy in humans that had become known as "crocodile tears" and began to study the source of the term. After contacting University of Florida Zoologist Kent Vliet, the pair uncovered multiple references to crocodile tears and investigated for themselves in real life. Having found references to crocodiles "slaying men and crying" in The Voyage and Travel of Sir John Mandeville, written in 1400, they decided to conduct live tests with biscuits.
Following close observation, it was found that foamy, frothing liquids did actually emerge from the eyes of caimans and alligators as they were fed. Vliet's hypothesis is that crocodile tears occur due to the huffing and hissing of a feeding crocodile, which may force air through the sinuses before mixing with tears in the lacrimal (tear) ducts. This would explain why crocodile tears appear so bubbly. Crocodile tears are similar in composition to human tears, possibly serving to lubricate the eyes. Other biological reasons should not be ruled out as the true story behind crocodile tears is brought to light.
8 The Dwarf Crocodile
Photo credit: Thesupermat
Crocodiles are known as large reptiles, and popular imagination is generally well-grounded in fact. After all, the saltwater crocodile is the largest living reptile, while other crocodiles are measured in multiple meters. However, African wetlands are also home to some crocodiles that are not only small, but have a frame that is less substantial than some lizards. In contrast to the potentially man-killing giants like the saltwater or Nile crocodile, this mini-croc usually grows to only around 1.5 meters (5 ft) long. Adults may weigh as little as 18 kilograms (40 lb).
These diminutive crocodiles feature biological attributes that are consistent with miniaturization. The crocodiles attack animals larger than themselves and can be quite ferocious, just as small dogs may seem to be disproportionately aggressive. Their teeth are long and sharp, with upper and lower dentition extending visibly outside of each jaw. Food may include a wide range of mammals, birds, and reptiles. To compensate for being so small and to discourage attacks by larger predators, these toothy and intimidating reptiles are equipped with extra bony armor plates on the back and head.
Unfortunately, human persecution, often due to hunting for food, has caused needless declines in dwarf crocodile populations. The future of the world's smallest crocodiles depends on proper stewardship of habitat and an end to the needless killing of these amazing animals.
7 The Strange And Endangered Mini-Alligators Of China
Photo credit: Greg Hume
China is home to the second, and much less familiar, of the world's only two alligator species. While crocodiles are highly diverse at 14 species, alligator biodiversity is much lower. The Chinese alligator is a remarkable animal, well-documented in Chinese history as a species that is essentially harmless to humans but unusually well-protected against predators. China's alligators once ranged across the continent, but they are now on the endangered species list due to humanity. While protected by the Chinese government, these animals still face many threats and could disappear from the wild without ample habitat protection and opportunities for population replenishment.
Reaching only around 1.5 meters (5 ft), the Chinese alligator is dwarfed by the familiar American alligator, which remains quite common in its home environment. Chinese alligators are well-equipped to resist their natural predators due to their surprisingly strong build. Unlike the American alligator, Chinese alligators have plates that protect even their bellies. As if that wasn't enough, even their upper eyelids bear bony plates to guard against attacks and injury.
Another trait that sets this animal apart is its diet. Although the animal has some connections to dragon legends, its dental structure is suited to feeding on shellfish. While birds, mammals, and fish are taken, an appreciable amount of this little alligator's food actually comes in the form of crushed mussels and clams.
6 False Gharial—A Potential Man Killer
Photo credit: Junkyardsparkle
In the wetlands of Indonesia and Malaysia, a lesser-known crocodilian with large scales, a patchy greenish-brown color, and the impressive potential length of more than 5 meters (16 ft) is found. The false gharial often preys on fish, like the true gharial of the Indian subcontinent. As an adaptation to this diet, both animals sport lengthened jaws. However, the false gharial is the fiercer of the two, with jaws that are broader and more robust in addition to being long. In fact, this species appears to have the largest skull of any crocodilian species. The massive scales and enormous teeth, spikier than what most crocodilians possess, lend a perhaps dragon-like appearance, while the fitting genus name Tomistoma (sometimes used as a common name) translates to "sharp mouth."
This reptile is capable of taking mammals including macaque monkeys and potentially deer. The false gharial patrols its available habitat for unwary prey, and unlike the true gharial, it may pose some threat to humans. The ecological importance of this amazing animal and the unlikeliness of human attacks far outweigh general cause for concern. However, it is a fact that human remains have been found in the stomach of a false gharial after a documented fatal attack.
Unfortunately, humans pose a much greater threat to the survival of the false gharial than it could ever pose to humans as a predator. Listed as endangered, it's at risk from hunting, habitat loss, entanglement in nets, and disturbance. Conservation efforts, including legal protection, may benefit this magnificent living relic.
5 Saltwater Crocodiles Kill Sharks
The saltwater crocodile (alternatively named the estuarine crocodile) of the Pacific and Indian Ocean regions needs little introduction as a species. The largest crocodilian, and the largest reptile, on the planet, this beast is not some little-known species but rather a well-known threat to humans. It has a truly imposing ecological track record . . . as a shark killer. Shark conservation is an important consideration, but saltwater crocodiles may see sharks, which we see as a potentially lethal predator, as a potential meal!
In one case, a highly aggressive bull shark was killed by a saltwater crocodile while a fisherman documented the encounter. Any animal that views a shark as food rather than as a threat is a hunter worth respecting. Measuring up to 7 meters (23 ft) long in exceptional cases and weighing a massive 1,000 kilograms (2,200 lb), the saltwater crocodile may venture far out to sea, easily floating at the surface and covering a great distance as a powerful swimmer. Land-dwelling prey may include animals as large as water buffalo, while visits to open water may lead to a meal of fresh shark meat.
4 Crocodile Scales Are Solar Heat Distributors

Crocodilian adaptations are numerous and specific. Every observable trait confers a clear advantage, including the prominent scales common to the group. Special scales on the back of a crocodilian heat blood vessels in the sunlight and keep the animal warm and active in spite of being an ectothermic (cold-blooded) animal. These terms simply mean that the animal does not produce its own heat and must rely on external sources of thermal energy. The scales contain bone deposited as isolated blocks called ostoderms, which are most pronounced in the ridged scales on the back.
These unique scales are filled with blood vessels, containing a network of small capillaries which push blood through the hot scales, gathering heat from the sun and then sending the heated blood back into the body of the crocodilian to keep its temperature up. This heat supports the effective function of multiple body systems. Through this adaptation, crocodilians are more readily able to remain active in cooler conditions. Thanks to adaptations such as these built-in "solar panels," crocodilians are able to handle an impressive range of conditions and use enhanced body temperatures and energy levels in the pursuit of mating, feeding, and territorial defense.
3 Crocodilians Can Strike Vertically

Crocodilians seem ungainly in appearance, but that's little more than a facade. In fact, crocodilians are lightning-fast, able to strike at blinding speeds propelled by their muscular legs when they are in contact with the ground. Even large, fast-moving animals can be caught before they have a chance to respond. Further aiding predation is the remarkable ability of crocodilians to launch themselves vertically using the force of their tail against a riverbed. A variety of prey items may be taken in this manner, which often comes as a surprise to viewers. Equipped with keen binocular vision somewhat like that of humans or owls, crocodilians can estimate the distance to the target with great accuracy using the target's parallax.
Sinusoidal tail undulations launch the reptile up to several meters from the deeper water that makes the maneuver possible. In Australia, the freshwater crocodile, typically overshadowed in the media by the massive saltwater crocodile, rose to prominence during the filming of the BBC documentary Wonders of the Monsoon. As flying foxes swooped along the river to get water, freshwater crocodiles were filmed leaping from the river and seizing the large bats in their jaws. The ability of crocodilians to seize flying prey speaks volumes about the extent of their agility.
2 Crocodiles Use Tools For Deceptive Hunting
The use of tools by animals other than humans has captured popular attention, proving a supposed dividing line between humans and all other species to be false. Primates, sea otters, and even herons have been known to use tools, but an even greater surprise is that a form of crocodilian tool use has been observed. Reptile researchers recently documented two crocodilians luring birds to their deaths with sticks, creating the illusion of a prime nesting site.
In India, the researchers found mugger crocodiles piling sticks on their nose and ducking below the surface. Incredibly, this behavior was found to take place only in the breeding season, when the birds would be drawn toward sticks that could form the beginnings of a nest. Once the birds got close enough to the "prospective nest site," the crocodiles would seize them as meals. In the same fashion, American alligators have been found lurking during nesting season around prime bird habitats with sticks balanced on their noses, waiting for careless birds.
Conversely, crocodilians also provide benefits to birds in the form of protection from smaller predators. However, the birds pay a price for this protection, according to the study. Any chicks that fall into the water usually become a quick snack.
1 Crocodilians Can Climb Trees
Crocodilians are the last animals that come to mind when in comes to arboreal capability. However, first impressions aside, they're able to climb all the way up to the canopy. Following seemingly far-fetched anecdotal reports of climbing crocodilians, Dr. Vladimir Dinets from the University of Tennessee conducted research in Africa, Australia, and the Americas and determined that four crocodilian species can climb trees. These species, which include the imposing saltwater crocodile and the freshwater crocodile, will actually scale trees, which speaks to the sheer strength of these creatures in spite of their rather awkward body plans.
The researchers involved speculate that arborealism in these otherwise aquatic and terrestrial animals is a behavioral adaptation intended to increase the benefits from basking as a form of thermoregulation. This suggestion is supported by increased sightings of perched crocodilians in areas where there are few places suitable for basking on the ground. The behavior also allows the crocodile to scan for prey, as well as watch for predators. A crocodile would not leap from a tree at prey, but it could gain perspective on where to pursue prey items.

Two decades ago, Russell Budd testified on the Terrell memo, a purported "cheat sheet" revealing how Baron & Budd attorneys coached up clients on how to identify asbestos products and exposures that they might not actually remember and might never have been exposed to in the first place.
The legal battle to unseal Budd's deposition has been waged for nearly two years.
In late 2016, Christine Biederman, a Dallas lawyer and freelance journalist whose investigation is being followed by a documentary filmmaker, intervened in a two-decade old asbestos suit filed in Travis County, seeking to unearth Budd's deposition.
Baron & Budd fought back against Biederman's efforts to unseal and on Jan. 31, 2017, the trial court ruled the court did not have jurisdiction over the case.
On Aug. 14, the First Court of Appeals affirmed the trial court's order dismissing Biederman's motion for want of jurisdiction.
Biederman had argued on appeal that the trial court erred by granting the Baron & Budd's plea to the jurisdiction and dismissing the case without deciding the motion to unseal on the merits because Rule 76a of the Texas Rules of Civil Procedure expressly grants continuing jurisdiction in the circumstances of the case.
Baron & Budd argued that the trial court lacked jurisdiction to hear Biederman's motion because the court's plenary power expired Aug. 6, 2006, and because the trial court did not have continuing jurisdiction under Rule 76a(7), which deals with continuing jurisdiction.
Rule 76a(7) states any person may intervene as a matter of right at any time before or after judgment to seal or unseal court records. A court that issues a sealing order retains continuing jurisdiction to enforce, alter, or vacate that order.
The battle to unseal even caught the attention of Attorney General Ken Paxton.
The state's chief lawyer filed an amicus brief in the case on Dec. 15, arguing that the trial court erred and did in fact have jurisdiction to determine that Budd's deposition was not properly sealed under Rule 76a.
During oral arguments, justices expressed their doubts that the testimony still existed, as county courthouses routinely trash older records from disposed cases.
When Biederman first made her argument to the trial court, she told the judge that several people have told her they still have copies of the deposition, but they couldn't give it to her because of the sealing order.
Most of the controversy surrounding the case centers on whether the deposition is an actual court record, as the testimony may have not been filed as a court record.
"Because Biederman failed to establish that the Budd Deposition was a court record, she failed to demonstrate that the provisions of Rule 76a, including the jurisdictional provision Rule 76(7) applied to her motion," the First Court's opinion states.
Although the case is decades old, there's a possibility Budd's deposition could be relevant to the 2014 Garlock Sealing Technologies case, which exposed attorney "double-dipping" in bankruptcy asbestos trusts.

Partners HealthCare, Boston, reported a small loss on its health plan during the first quarter of the fiscal year. Overall, the system had a positive operating margin, but that margin fell sharply from a year ago as labor and other costs grew faster than revenue.
The system's health plan, which Partners acquired in 2012, ended the first quarter with an operating loss of $12 million. That was reduced on the books to a $1 million expense thanks to $11 million Partners saved for that possibility. The loss compared with an operating loss of $20 million for the health plan during the same quarter last year. The quarter ended Dec. 31.
Revenue increased for the system despite unexpectedly soft demand from patients. Patients who did seek care were more complex and acutely ill. The system's expenses grew more quickly than revenue.
"Overall financial performance was consistent with expectations, but we face continued pressure as revenue growth generated from patient care activities is outpaced by medical expenses, including the rising costs of pharmaceuticals and information technology," said Peter Marshall, Partner's chief financial officer, in a news release announcing the results. Partners said the introduction of a new electronic health record system reduced its operating income by $14 million for the quarter.
Revenue increased 6.3% to $3.02 billion with a 2.2% increase in revenue from patients and a 29% increase in premium revenue.
Expenses increased 8.7% to $3.01 billion, with labor costs increasing 4.2% and supply costs up 7.9%. Medical claims and related expenses grew 33%.
That left Partners with an operating surplus for the quarter of $12.8 million, or a margin of about 0.4%. For the first quarter a year ago, Partners reported an operating surplus of $74.1 million, for a margin of 2.6%.
Partners' losses on investments and interest rate swaps left the system with a net loss for the quarter of $37.5 million compared with net income during the first quarter a year ago of $40.6 million.

The large first floor landing has a mezzanine balcony which leads to three cosy bedrooms. One bedroom is a king size, complete with en-suite, another boasts three singles and benefits from an en-suite and a further twin bedroom shares the family bathroom.
Perched alongside the South West Coast Path, The Yellow Cottage over looks Trebarwith Strand and is only a stones throw from the expansive tidal beach. There is a large lawn area, perfect for children to run around on and a patio with outside lounging facilities.
The Yellow Cottage is instantly recognisable from the outside; sitting proudly nestled in the Trebarwith Strand headland, the soft yellow painted wooden exterior the epitome of a summer beach house. This elegant simplicity continues within and throughout this beautiful holiday home.
Entering the open plan kitchen and dining area, engineered oak wooden floors stretch out underfoot. The bespoke Stephen Graver award nominated kitchen is finished to the highest of quality; hand painted neutral units fitted with American pull handles sit beneath an English blue grey slate counter top, whilst the central kitchen island is topped with quartz.

The welcoming living room manages to be open, bright and airy as well as comforting and homely. Traditional soft candystripe armchairs and two plush sofas beckon weary legs to rest and take in the peaceful surroundings or watch tv, whilst an open mezzanine level overlooking the sitting room allows the high vaulted ceilings and sky lighted windows to bathe this half of the house in bright sunlight.
French doors make the best of the gorgeous view tumbling down onto Trebarwith Strand beach and can be opened up to let the fresh summer breeze in.

Yet another fab holiday at the best place in the world. Yellow Cottage and Trebarwith has a magic of its own. We will be back again, and again, and again..
Thank you for a fabulous week. Trebarwith is one of our favourite places and this house just made it even better.
A wonderful week in a beautiful house – fantastic weather all week. We really need a peaceful place to recuperate, and this amazing and comfortable house fitted the bill – thank you.
Summer arrived after some bleak weather! Good to be in shorts in this lovely location, enjoyed it all as much as ever. Ate well and even better here with fresh fish from Launceston cooked in your wonderful kitchen.
Great and wonderful experience staying in a 5 star villa. View is amazing, enjoyed the scenery and relaxing bedrooms and sitting room. Definitely a place to recommend and come back to for more holidays. Thank you and God bless.
A wonderful and well-appointed house in an amazing location. We have fallen in love with Trebarwith Strand. A trip to Boscastle, walks on the beach (especially with a Crazy Mermaid ice cream) are all to be recommended. We also enjoyed a trip to look at Daymer Bay, very good for young children who don't like waves – and Port Isaac is always a favourite. A wonderful stay, thank you.
Thank you for a fabulous stay in your amazing, stunningly beautiful and immaculately clean and presented property. We had a superb holiday, and you provided everything we need and plenty of space for the children. Great beach, great walks, lovely castle and a fantastic meal at Nathan Outlaw's in Port Isaac made a truly magical holiday.
We had a great stay at The Yellow Cottage, the whole family enjoyed it and being that close to the beach and a great pub a few moments away, it's the ultimate beach house experience. We will return!
We had a wonderful week in The Yellow Cottage, it couldn't have been more perfect. It was such a treat to walk down the garden path and be strides away from the sands of Trebarwith Strand. Timed right, the beach offered such a beautiful long stretch to take our daily beach walk, other times the coastal path through the garden gate took us straight up onto the cliff tops.
Our whole group kept finding more things in the house each day that was loved! Such a well appointed house, everything has been thought of. We are a group of eight adults who stay in a large coastal house every year and this is one of the best, we can highly recommend it. This place definitely had the wow factor for us!
The Yellow Cottage is a very special place. The warmth and decor of the house and its magnificent location are hard to top. The memories of a visit there will stay with us always. The hike up the coast path to Tintagel Castle is both beautiful and fascinating. The castle, its beach and caves, are otherworldly, and make you believe in the Arthurian legends.
There is still much we want to explore in Cornwall, but know we'll be doing it from this house. Thanks for the outstanding management and professionalism Perfect Stays!
I celebrated my 40th here and came back for my 50th – a lot has changed but it's still fabulous, like most of the friends that joined me! Here's to returning on my 60th!
Fantastic in summer, despite some very wet weather – the house is something special, as is Trebarwith Strand. The combination with Port William thrown in is unbeatable. Hope to come back again soon.
We had a wonderful stay celebrating various family birthdays. Wonderful waves and dramatic sunsets. Great surfing too!
Fab! Visit time and time again and always excellent.
Wonderful property – had an awesome family Christmas here! Views are spectacular – for anyone visiting, we recommend you take a trip to Daymer Bay via Rock!
We all had an amazing time at The Yellow Cottage. Thank you for helping us to create even more beautiful memories in this place.
