Heading East for Easter

Easter time has come around again, and his time we decided to spend it in Norfolk. Of course, we weren't the only ones travelling over this period, with another 10.999998 people apparently on the roads as well as us. We didn't see all of them though...


Luckily, most people head south for their holidays, so our trip east was mostly without traffic, until we got just past Peterborough when we then were forced to trundle along at 20mph for the next hour and a half, finally arriving at our destination of King's Lynn by 3pm.


Arriving at our Bed and Breakfast (Fairlight Lodge) we went straight into town, walking via the very lovely park ("The Walks") with it's Red Mount Chapel looking over it.


We then headed towards the river and walked along it until we came to the custom house and a drink was sought at the local Wetherspoons, which incidentally was running a real ale festival (unfortunately none of the ones currently available were to my liking).


Dinner was eaten at Marriott's Warehouse, which is on the riverside, and is within a lovely old corn warehouse. The meals that Olga chose were really inventive and very tasty as you can see below. Mine were fine, but not as good as the ones on the opposite side of the table.



On the way back to the B&B we stopped off at a few of the old buildings which were lit up with projections of moving images for Lynn Lumiere. It was a very impressive end to the evening.
