Hunstanton

When we were in England last time, we were invited by my sister in law to stay at their caravan in Hunstanton for a weekend. Hunstanton is a seaside town in Norfolk around 2 hours driving from hubby's home town Leicester. It has a nice beach where you can do kite surfing, pony ride, ride in an amphibious vehicle or just walking around the seashore.


The amphibious vehicle

Its very nice to walk along the beach when the tide is low and of course when the sun is shining :D. I cant believe i said that hahaha since i always hide from the sun :p. When we were there the wind was very strong and it blew cold, so a little sunshine made me feel warm :-).

Most interesting to me were the colourfull cliffs and beach stones covered by seaweed. You can even find the ruins of an old boat there.


Once we had enough of walking along the beach, we decided to go back to the caravan. It took us 15 to 20 minutes walking. On the way, we saw the ruins of St. Edmund's Chapel and an old lighthouse. From the picture below you can see the lighthouse through the arch in the remains of St Edmund's Chapel. According to wikipedia, the lighthouse ceased operations in 1922, since then it has been a private residence and a Holiday Let.

  
My sister in law's caravan is located in a big park together with 600 other caravans. It is easy to get lost there since all the caravans are almost alike. Her caravan has 2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, kitchen, living room, veranda and even a garden!!. Its a nice caravan and we would love to go back there again, if we were invited of course :D.
