Norwich

I've only been to Norwich once and that was for a job interview and I didn't do much sightseeing.

We'd been told about the traffic in Norwich and were advised to use the Park & Ride, so we only had a short drive and caught the bus on the outskirts for the drive into town. It seemed to be a good move as the traffic was heavy but the bus lane made our journey easy.

Norwich is a mix of very old and very new buildings living side by side.

Nearly everwhere you turn there seems to be a church. The old buildings suffer damage from traffic as the corner of the house shows.

Gift wrapping trees doesn't seem normal behaviour to me.

We spent hours wandering around with no fixed plans. The locals were very helpful. Every time we stopped to study the town map, somebody asked if we needed help. This was great as the street names didn't match with the map so we would have been slightly stuck without the help. Everybody must work for tourist information!

Being an MG fanatic, I couldn't pass up this photo.

A lot of the eating places were what we would call arty farty food, two lettuce leaves and drizzle of something or other for exorbitant prices. We eventually found a pub with good honest grub at fair prices and enjoyed a good feed.

It was a long hot day but enjoyable.
