Norfolk Broads and Seaside with John & Wendy


Our truly lovely holiday started off with a delightful lunch in an authentic farm shop café in rural Cambridgeshire.  We then excitedly set off to our newly refurbished and spacious bungalow situated right on Barton Broad. 

 

Glorious sunshine made our days warm and bright.  On a few occasions, our instructor for the week, Peter, took us out to explore the broads on an impressive sailing boat.  Under full sail and strong wind, we picked up quite a speed and all enjoyed the challenge of steering the vessel around Barton Broad. At one point we let the experts guide us through the narrow bridge at Ludham!  It was wonderful to spot the numerous bird life which included kingfishers, herons, swans, geese and ducks.  We moored the boat to stop off for refreshments in some beautiful broad-side pubs.


 
 

We took out canoes with 4 of us in each and had great fun racing each other and trying to avoid any trees!  One afternoon we set off to the greyhound races at Great Yarmouth - oh what a blast it was as  we made lots of noise cheering on our favourite dogs and many of us were very enthusiastic winners!  One another morning we drove in sunshine to Blakeney on the stunning Norfolk coast.  We walked the coastal footpath and everyone loved being out in the fresh sea air.   Some of us brave ones even paddled in the sea!  A wonderful holiday loved by everyone.
