Oh...I do Like to be Beside the Seaside!

I know it has been a long time since I blogged, I will explain all in a later post, but for now I want to share with you a fantastic day out that I had last week.

My last post mentioned that I was excited about the fact that I was going to the beach - and I have to report I had a lovely time visiting various towns and villages along the Norfolk coast.

First of all I got my servant to drive me to the Victorian seaside resort of Hunstanton where I relaxed on the beach for a while.  The weather was pretty good and there were even people swimming in the sea.  I didn't fancy that though - I'm not keen on getting my paws wet.

After having a quick spot of morning cake (well, us bears need to keep our strength up when having a day out), my servant drove me along the coast through many pretty villages like Wells-Next-The-Sea and those a little inland like Burnham Market.



We ended up at the seaside resort of Cromer which was very busy with holidaymakers.  Cromer has a great pier where my servant and I saw lots of people doing something which Cromer is famous for - fishing for crabs!  I am not a big fan of seafood myself, so I treated myself to a great ice cream instead as it had been some time since morning cake and I was getting peckish.



Here is me, full of ice cream and with the pier in the background!

One of the things I found really interesting in Cromer was the lifeboat station which was right at the end of the pier.  You could go in and take a look at the lifeboat, which was really big - I know I am only a small bear, but it was big even taking that into account!  It must be very scary being a lifeboat person - I don't think I could do that, I like to keep both paws on solid ground.


After such a full day at the Norfolk coast I was very tired by the time I got home.  Luckily I have a servant to drive me around, as I had more eventful days coming up.  But more of that in another post...
