What could be better than such a weekend. Saturday we did attempt to go to Norwich but the traffic was amazing, so we decided to tackle that location on Sunday. Instead we headed for Ely, an incredible place with a church whose construction was started in 673. It was finished off in 1081 with some changes after a fire to the central tower in later years.
We then went to a cute little tea house and had lovely cake. I had a white chocolate and raspberry cake, super yummy. Ben went for the plain fruit cake. We then came across an impressive collection of birds. There are ducks, swans and geese. So we decided to feed them.
They have a lovely water system here as well. We are hoping to hire a barge in the near future and check them out.
Sunday we were successful with our getting to Norwich and well worth while, though it sucks to try and get out of the place. In the end we ended up coming out on the east side of the town. Not were we wanted to be. Well in this fair city we checked out Norwich castle which use to be a very wealth place with a trade I wool and also served some time as a jail, weird.
This is Royal me inside the castle:
We also saw the Cathedral. This town has two of them, and an over abundant supply of churches. Something like forty odd. The reason - well the guilds like to show off how well they did that year, and show that it was all for th eglory of God (of course) and so every guild in town built their own.
We also went to a pub, of course. It was called Mischief and it served a lovely wheat brew called Straw Dog. extremely yummy
Next weekend we're off to London :P
