Norfolk - Boats, Trains & Seaside We were all excited to get on board our cruiser. It was a wonderful day on the water – along the way we   stopped at a few places  to have a stroll around and visit the shops. We had our picnic lunch on board our cruiser and celebrated Peter's birthday! Everyone was able to steer the cruiser and were awarded with a certificate of achievement for their efforts.  We sailed around the Norfolk Broads.

It was then off to Leeds and the ITV studios to see where the filming took place. We bought more souvenirs in the studio gift shop and had our photos taken.  I n Skipton we boarded a narrow boat on the canal and went on a trip back in time along the Leeds and Liverpool canal.
