Reminiscing.

84 Miles. Now at Woodbridge.

An overnight frost meant a chilly start to the day but we were guaranteed another fine day. First stop was Great Yarmouth after we got the Garmin sorted and heading in the right direction. We found a parking space at the end of the Marine Parade where parking was free until the 1st April. This gave us a couple of hours to investigate the sight’s.

Next stop was Gorleston where I had a school holiday back in 1956. Again we found free parking at the end of Marine Parade and had lunch before walking back along the parade towards the town centre. We spoke to a couple of local’s who told us that a lot of the boarding houses had gone and the few that remain are now rest homes for the elderly. We photographed the only building that looked vaguely familiar but I will have to wait until I dig out my old photo albums back in New Zealand to see if there is a resemblance.

Was this the boarding house Derek stayed at back in 1956?

Leaving Gorleston for Woodbridge we set up the Garmin but I think some road improvements hadn’t been added to the memory and we finished up down some very narrow lanes. Dot was on the edge of her seat but I just took it in my stride. We finally arrived at the Caravan Club CL around 4pm weary and in need of a cuppa.

A total of 674 miles, since 5 March 2011
