We had decided to look at some other caravan sites in the area whilst sightseeing and so we headed off North in the direction of Lowestoft and then on to Great Yarmouth. On the way we stopped and looked at three caravan sites and were not impressed and again we were glad of where we had booked in Aldeburgh. The journey continued and we visited Caister-on-Sea and then across the Norfolk Broads to Cromer where we stopped in a shabby cafe but which did excellent ‘toasties’ and soup, by which time it had started to rain. From Cromer we pretty much followed the coastline around Sherringham which looks like a nice place, unlike Cromer, and on to Wells by the Sea and we were astonished at the size of churches in this area compared to the population and put it down to the Lords of the Land trying to outdo their neighbours. The rain was now coming down much harder, the radio was talking about heavy rain all over Suffolk and Norfolk and localised flooding and so we decided to head on back. It’s not a journey either of us would repeat as it’s not that attractive but we are pleased we did it all the same.
We arrived back in Aldeburgh and indeed there must have been very heavy rain as the ground was saturated, with large puddles everywhere but our caravan was fine.
Dinner was a vegetable and pasta dish and we also finished off the rest of the wine we brought from home and then watched the second part of a program about looking for Tigers in Bhutan which was quite enthralling.
And so to bed after watching ‘Mock the Week’ which is a rather rude review of the week’s news by a bunch of comedians.
