The weather was lovely this morning and we back-tracked North a bit to Whitby. It used to be a big fishing port, and there is still fishing going on, but now it's also a tourist town.
We explored all around the town including an overlook to the South:
and North (can you see the abbey remains top left (to the right of the church)?):
There are big harbour walls and these even have extensions:
Other sights we saw were this old-fashioned lifeboat (and Pikachu found his own one!):
This old-fashioned, steam-powered bus:
Some donkeys...
A very steep street...
What do you think this arch is made from?
It's the lower jawbones of the "Greenland Right Whale" or "Bowhead Whale" given to Whitby by the people of Anchorage, Alaska in 2002.
And finally, a last couple of pictures:
This is the final entry of Mr Sidey and Pikachu's February 2012 holiday. Tomorrow we just have the four hour drive home. We hope you enjoyed reading about our travels. Next trip will be in the Easter Holidays.
