Polly follows the road south. Small rivers come down from the mountains and run into the sea. The river water is cold. The sea water is warm.
The beach here has no sand. It is made of small round stones. They are grey and white and brown. The waves move the stones and they make a loud noise.
Polly walks on the stones. Then she stops. One stone is blue. It is blue inside too. It looks like water that has gone hard.
