After a very nice 'ull 'English'
breakfast, minus the baked beans we rugged up well and set out on
foot. A brisk walk on the beach was the first order of the day. And
golly gosh it was soooo cold. But we have had our walk on the
Norfolk sand. The milky coffee and choccy caked we had afterwards
were very welcome to warm us up.
A very short further along Marine
Parade and we came to the local Sealife aquarium.
Now how could we not stop and go see
the sea-life. Well those of you who know us well would know that we
couldn't walk past one of these without going in to ogle the fish.
The large tank had two really large
green sea turtles, and did you know that they are called that, not
because their shells are green, but because their fat is green.
Betcha didn't know that!
The very large tank where the turtles
were swimming along with sharks and other large fish was decorated as
though it was an Atlantis lookalike with a huge Medusa head as its
centrepiece.
After lunch at a beach-side café we
strolled away from the beach front to an intiguingly titled museum
called Time and Tide.
And what an interesting visit that
turned out to be.
Built in an old herring smoke-house
that still carries the smell of smoked fish it is very well worth a
visit if you ever get to this neck of the woods.
It was like stepping back in time when
we walked down a very well re-created local narrow street, brought
alive by the very well done audio guide.
We spent so much time there that it was
four o'clock when we left and getting chillier if that's possible so
we made a quick walk back to the very comfortable Warren Guest House
where we are staying.

The Marine parade here like almost every other beachfront we have visited is jam-packed with amusement arcades. Thank goodness we don't have them at home in NZ.
