Ninety Minutes on the Beach

OK. So the title of this post says it all. Other than go to the driving range and whack around of few balls, all we did today was have our lunch at the beach. It was wonderful! We’ve been here 4 weeks yesterday and this was the first day that we’d done virtually nothing.

Clacton Pier was just like Brighton Pier only much smaller but it was voted Best Pier in 2020. Yea them!

Beach was mostly sandy but we didn’t go to the water. Peter has been in the Channel 3 times already, two on the English side and one on the French side in 2018, so he didn’t feel the need.
A little bit of home. This was a kiddie car ride of some sort.
Even though the pier was smaller than Brighton Beach, there were more rides on this one. Of course, we didn’t go on any of them but the kids looked like they were having fun.
Looking from the pier into town.

After ice cream we headed back to the car but it was a very long walk and Peter got a bit tired. So, he waited on a park bench while I got the car and picked him up. And, my friends, was our day. I did a load of laundry when we got home and took a short nap. That was it. It was a wonderful day!

Tomorrow we head to the Hilton at Heathrow where we will spend the night. After dropping off luggage we’ll take the car back to Europcar and then head into London for the day. Peter didn’t get see the British Museum or 10 Downing Street (home of the Prime Minister; can’t go inside but you can see the address) so I think we might do that. We fly out of Heathrow to Edinburgh on Wednesday. For the first time in 6 years I get to add a new country to my list. This will be #57. Can’t wait!
