Day trip to Great Yarmouth


It's still boling hot.  I'm doing some research at the Nelson Museum.  This hero dominated Georgian Britain.  He was a complex and flawed character but clearly very brave. How difficult life was then.  We are all inspired. The museum communicates well with us. P walks the plank.  Read more about the museum here.  
And about the intriguing character, Horatio, here



Then we head off for the beach.  There are some architectural gems



And the beach is quite something



But Great Yarmouth is struggling to be somewhere and is very run down.  What a contrast with Margate.  The Tate needs to appear!  


This says it all 



At least there's a brewery but it's shut today 



We walk along to the Britannia Monument. 
In the Victorian era a dare devil tried to scale it but fell to his death on the way down. The view from the top must be great but it's not open today.


The youngsters visit for dinner
