Quiz ↓Am fünften Tag kamen die Reiter an. Lastwagen fuhren die Straße hoch. Sie trugen Jetskis und lange, schmale Surfbretter. Hunde liefen neben den Lastwagen. Möwen riefen am Himmel.
In der alten Festung gibt es einen besonderen Raum. Berühmte Surfbretter hängen an den Wänden. Jedes Brett ritt hier eine riesige Welle. Manche sind kaputt, aber sie hängen trotzdem dort.
Am Nachmittag schauten alle aufs Meer. Seevögel saßen in einer Reihe auf der Mauer. Der alte Albatros war auch dort. Das Meer rollte in langsamen, schweren Linien. Morgen kommen die Riesen.
In dieser Nacht blieb Polly nah bei der warmen Laterne. Die Wellen dröhnten in der Dunkelheit. Sie schlief nur wenig.
