Norfolk - Boats, Trains & Seaside
Oh we do like to be beside the seaside and what better way to start than down by the beach with an ice cream treat!
We took to the water on our cruise liner and sailed peacefully down the Norfolk Broads spotting wildlife and admiring the impressive houses that lined the banks of the river. We each got to have a turn at being Captain and all agreed that we did a pretty good job! 
It was another exciting day on the broads and
today it was our turn to do some work on the canoes! We were split into two
groups and were introduced to our instructors. After a bit of practise, we had
soon mastered the technique and were paddling in synch, working well as a team.
Two glorious hours were spent gliding along the broads, spotting more wildlife
and enjoying the calmness that surrounded us.
It was off to Holt and the Poppy Railway and as luck would have it as soon as we arrived the train steamed down the track. We were soon relaxing in our seats as the train
chugged towards to the coastal town of Sheringham. On arrival we looked
around the quirky souvenir shops before stopping for a drink, looking out to
sea and spotting the massive wind turbines that are just offshore.
It was game on as we hit the bowling alley for a friendly yet competitive few games of bowling. It was great to see everyone scoring highly and even getting strikes!
Excitedly we then drove to Great Yarmouth to be wowed by the magic of the world-famous Hippodrome Circus which is
one of the few remaining purpose built circus buildings in the UK. We sat as a
myriad of world-class performers, awe-inspiring acrobatics, and spellbinding
water spectacles were performed before our very eyes. Our hearts then started
beating as four motorbikes whizzed around a metal sphere all in sync with each
other. It was daredevil stuff. We gave them a huge round of applause when they
had finished. At the end of the show, we were lucky enough to get
some photos taken with some of the performers.
