What? A holiday in England!
(Photo from www.freefoto.com)
I’m from England and have travelled there a fair bit but generally if I want a holiday I head straight to somewhere else in Europe as I always thought that they have nicer beaches. That was until I was introduced to Norfolk!
I went to a tiny place in the middle of no where called Sea Pauling but the beach stretches on for miles so there are plenty of other towns to choose from if you want more excitement. I was told that when you see the beach you think you’re in India or something, I laughed at that comment and thought that the person was just exaggerating. I walked up the huge sand dunes and when I reached to the top I was shocked. The beach was stunning and I never imagined that there was a place so beautiful just three hours from London. Obviously the sea is freezing but the sunsets were amazing! Plus you can go sand dune surfing – its so much fun but very tiring walking back up!
If you head to Norwich, you can hire canal boat and cruise down the river stopping at little towns along the way and there are even small boats that drive you to you and seel drinks and ice-creams, random! Norwich also has a fairly good nightlife. I never thought I would say it but you can actually have an excellent holiday in England and the weather there in the summer gets really hot (I don’t know if it’s ever going to be quite hot enough to go in the sea though!)

I would hav never thought there was a place like this in England. SOunds like fun. I went sand dune surfing in Peru and that was one of the most fun things I have done. But fortunately we had a dune buggy that after we went down the dune they took us to the top of the next dune, so no crazy walking up the dunes. By the way, I ran across a new travel site, baraaza.com. You might enjoy it. You can review destinations and activities. You might be able to find some other cool stuff about England.
Keep us posted.
