Norfolk - Boats, Trains & Seaside with Derek, Paula & Pat

  Norfolk - Boats, Trains & Seaside   

We had a nice day on a sailing boat, it was very peaceful and relaxing. Along the way we spotted some wildlife. It was a beautiful experience with clear skies and lovely scenery all around.

 

In each canoes we had an instructor giving us instructions as we paddled along the rivers and onto the Barton Broad. It was good fun and we raced each other and one or two of us got splashed along the way. 

 We made our way to the lovely seaside town of Sheringham. We walked down the high street and down onto the beautiful sandy beach. The tide had turned and we had a great expanse of beach to mess about on. One or two of us were brave enough to paddle
 

In Sheringham we boarded a train that took us to Holt. We all enjoyed the journey and when we alighted we had our photo taken besides the huge engine. It is a wonderful piece of history! 

In Blakeney we wandered onto the quay and watched folk crabbing as we enjoyed an ice cream in the sunshine. We then set off to Wells Next The Sea and did a little gift shopping and walked along the quay side before having a fish & chip dinner. 

We boarded onto Nancy B, a large cruiser. We sat back and thoroughly chilled out as we swept along the wonderful waterways. The top was opened and the sun streamed into the boat. We took it in turns to steer the cruiser and felt we were getting pretty good at it too! We even wore a captain’s hat and at the end of our cruise we received certificates to say that we had driven the cruiser! 

We enjoyed friendly games of ten pin bowling. Competitive spirits were high and some marvellous points were scored!
