day 8

Today was very low key, a day of rest. We got home from London last night at 1 am so we all slept in this morning. Around noon Kirt and I decided to head to the sea, the rest of the crew decided to relax at home. We headed towards the sea in hopes of finding lunch. We took an exit because we saw a KFC  so we thought there would be other food options near by. Well there was nothing, we saw a big store called Next we notice on the second floor it look like a cafe so we thought what the heck. This was a furniture store like ikea, yep the cafe was just a coffee shop so that was a failed attempt. We had to use the GPS to find lunch and we ended up at a place call The Red Lion. It was the best lunch yet, i had a chicken and bacon sandwich (bacon is ham here). It was delicious!

Then we headed to Southwold which was another sea city. It was pretty! There was lots of colored beach sheds, these are little shed that people can rent or buy. They hold chairs, towels, beach toys, and have a little kitchen like set up where they can make tea. 

We walked along the pier enjoyed ice cream and walked through some shops. The whole pier had shops or tea rooms on it. 

After that we walked through the neighborhoods and to the lighthouse. We read online you could get to the top but sure enough when we got there it was closed. Who would have thunk. So we ended up just getting some candy at the candy shop. Southwold was a fun cute little beach village! 

Next stop was Dunwich, this is another beach town that someone in the village town us about. They told us it was the closest beach to Kersey. Jan wanted to go there the other day and we ended up at the other beaches. Luckily we didn’t go to this one cause when kirt and i got there it was like a camp ground, not even a beach lol another disappointment. Then we headed back to the cottage where we met spencer, jan, and diane for dinner at the local pub.
