There is obviously trick photography here as I used to have a tortoise when I was a kid an I know they are only about 6 inches long. Also I doubt that you've really seen sealions as I notice that there are no shots of them clapping their hands and balancing balls on their noses! So I'm guessing that the photos were taken on Hilbre Island and that all the time you've actually been staying in the Travelodge Chester. That being the case Ma sez don't you dare bring your dirty washing home this weekend ! Regards Pops.
