Norfolk 28/29 Aug

We were sad to leave our cottage  in Duddenhoe End as we had made friends with 3 geese who tapped on our windows every morning , and a cute miniature schnauser called Pepper! Anyway we hit the road to Norwich via Lowestoft on the coast.This is, we suspect, a typical English seaside resort complete with pier and pokie arcade, deep fried food outlets and huge icecreams. ( these we did sample and only 50p) Sandra  was intrigued with the colourful beach huts along the beachfront.
We found our accommodation in Norwich thanks  once again to Gloria Garman. It turned out to be a B and B along the lines of Fawltey Towers and we have the attic. Very grateful to Emmanuel who carted our suitcases up 2 sets of very narrow stairs. There are 3 beds all lined up , like at boarding school!! Anyway, it is perfectly situated and we were able to explore Norwich by foot in the early evening. We visited the cathedral, city  hall and the Royal Arcade , where the Colemans mustard shop and museum is and also Jamie Oliver's Italian restaurant. There weren't too many people around at this time and it was a lovely evening.
Saturday saw us driving up to Cromer, another beach resort and then we followed the coast all around to Kings Lynn. We were intrigued by  the boat quays which are miles from the sea. On low tides the boats are high and dry in narrow channels. And the car parks are miles from the beaches also and people walk with all their picnic gear and wind shelters etc out to the water.
