Ship of the Fens.  Ely Cathedral

It was too nice a day to stay home in the apartment so we caught the X9 bus to Ely. We got off the bus at Ely Tesco’s where we bought a very cheap lunch of 2 packs of sandwiches, bag of crisps and a Kit Kat with 2 bottles of fruit juice for £4. Then we walked down to the river where we have moored many times in the past. Opposite the marina we found a sunny park bench overlooking the river and had a very nice picnic lunch.

Ely in Winter. Plenty of moorings available here.

After this we wandered up into town to have a look to see what we may have missed on previous visits.With the councils all talking about cutting bus subsidies we could find ourselves stuck at home more often with the bus companies threatening to cut unprofitable bus routes. So make hay while the sun shines as the old saying goes.
