Norfolk- Boats, Trains & Seaside with Midi & Netty

Norfolk- Boats, Trains & Seaside
What a beautiful sunny day, perfect for our day at the beach.

We had a lovely walk along the sandy beach at San Palling. The views were incredible and you could see all the way along the coastline. It was the perfect spot to have a friendly game of Boules. They glided perfectly along the sand and it was great fun. 

We loved spending our pennies in the arcades, enjoying some good old fashioned seaside fun! 

 An excited group couldn't wait to venture down the Broads fro the first time. We boarded our vessel at the bottom of our garden and we soon set off. We became nature detectives, spotting the local wildlife and were lucky enough to see a Grey Heron. 



The competition was fierce with a head to head game, Boys vs Girls. With some high scores and great strikes the boys were crowned champions! A special congratulations to Karl, who was the highest scorer for the boys. 



After our great days out we loved ending with a few games of pool at the local pub. With his able assistants, Midi cooked up some real feasts on the BBQ, too.




All aboard the old Steam Train! It was a memorable sight as the very grand, Regiment train pulled into the station; the sound and smell was something that we wouldn’t forget. We took our seats in the old fashioned carriages and the ticket master came and punched our tickets. The whistle blew and we were off making our way through the picturesque countryside towards the seaside town of Sheringham.

It was such a memorable experience to meet the Station Master. 


 

 We had a wander around the little seaside town of Sheringham that was lined with quirky shops. Then we had a tour of the Life Boat museum. It was fascinating to read about the incredible job they do



 Our luxury cruiser was waiting for us and we were thrilled to be cruising once again. We saw some amazing properties along the way with little boats moored up outside.  We went under the Ludham Bridge, all crossing our fingers that we were going to get under ok! But, of course our captain had it all under control! As we sailed home, it was our turn to take over the wheel and steer our way along the river. We thought we all made very capable captains! 



 We got kitted up in our life jackets and we were then shown to our sailing boat. There was a gentle wind which helped us glide through the still water. We all took it in turns to put up the sail and steer the boat.  



Time to jump into our canoe and explore the waters some more. We all worked well as a team playing some fun games. Luckily, no one capsized!
