Last day in Caister (including 4 days summary)

We have been a bit slack the last couple of days and have not posted anything recently.
After hearing complaints about lack of posts,I (kristian) will give you a run down on whats been happening the last couple of days.

Tuesday: To think back all the way to tuesday was quite an effort actually, some serious brain storming was done and this is what we can remember.
Tuesday we started the day with a trip to Potter Heigham where you could drive these little boats up and down the broads which was quite good to do although they were limited to 5mph which was a bit of a drag when it came time to overtake another boat.

After our high speed boat adventure, we went to get something to eat at the little cafe right next to where the boats where were we tried our first (and certainly not last) bap. Weird name but delicious with bacon and egg, for everybody that doesnt know what it is its basically a soft burger bun. After brunch we made a purchase of an item that will make up some of my melbourne arrival outfit to go with my kilt hopefully with every piece of clothing representing each part of our trip.

Soon after we headed out for Norwich which is basically a city centre for eastern England and is massive in size with the Norwich Castle situated right in the heart of the city. Due to the over population of England, we jumped on a park and ride to encourage people to leave their cars out of the city and catch a bus in, although when our bus arrived it was blowing smoke and leaking oil which is generally not a good sign. After waiting for another bus, we arrived in Norwich and it is just about the size of melbourne itself! Norwich castle is the centrepiece of Norwich so we decided to go in and have a look around and do a dungeon tour. It was pretty amazing to see the dungeons and the areas where they would leave prisoners and just forget about them in places where there was no natural light and no way of anyone knowing you where down there.
We had a further look around norwich and all the shops discovering DVD's and games are incredibly cheap over here along with most other things here.
Although there are exceptions like the $9 apple juice in our hotel in heathrow!

Wednesday: Wednesday started with us going down to Yarmouth front once again and spending a dollar or two on the arcade machines once again growing our selection of prizes. After a few hours looking around we went to Pleasurewood hills which is a theme park just about 15 minutes drive from yarmouth. We got into the theme park and fast walked straight to the go karts where typically Lauren and I have competition between us. As we got there already laying smack talk onto each other we read it was an extra $6 each to have a go on them when every other ride was covered by the wristband we bought. In protest we went on the slightly slower dodgem cars which turned out to be a bit of fun for me but for lauren being my passenger understandably not as pleasant (bit of a sore neck afterwards). One more notable thing about pleasurewood hills was the circus we saw, rather a bunch of random acts with one being a 40 something year old guy doing bmx tricks and constantly messing his tricks up.

Thursday: Im leaving Lauren to write the rest of this because im going to go watch golf.

So Thursday, we went to Burgh Castle which isn't to far from Caister. It was built by the Saxons in around 280 AD, so it was a pretty amazing place to see and be near.
After a walk around the ruins we went to a very old cemetery. It was very interesting place to have a wonder round, I found a grave of a little boy who had been dead for about 121 years, it was sad to think that probably none of his relatives know he even existed. Though he passed away at the age of 11, some people lived up to the ages of around 86 in the 1800's.... I can't imagine how it would have been to live back in those days.

So basically we had a very interesting day and learnt quite alot.


Today/Friday: Today is our last day in Yarmouth, we are off up to Angies in Yorkshire tomorrow which we are both looking forward to.
This morning Nanny took Kristian down to her gym so he could go for a swim while I sorted out my suitcase - it is still looking like a bomb has hit it.
When he got back we went into Yarmouth for a last look around and to spend a little bit of coin at the amusements.
Kristian had some market chips, and I got a Thorntons ice cream which was yummy
Tonight we are going out to dinner with Nanny, Grandad, Nanny Cathy, David and Deni to Church Farm which is right near Burgh Castle, so that should be good.

Anyway I am also over typing now, plus I best go get sorted before we go out for dinner shortly.

Hope everyone is doing well and not missing us to much.

Love Kristian and Lauren
