I thought I
would write this up as a blog, as travelling doesn’t always have to be long
trips abroad!
On the 17th April, my parents came to visit me at my university, before taking me home for
Easter. We decided to go for a day trip. We started off travelling to
Bridlington. We parked the car and went to for a wander down the promenade. The
beach was quite empty as it wasn’t a particularly warm day! It was a very nice
area, but there wasn’t much to do – that’s a coastal town with a declining
population for you!
We then
moved onto Scarborough for lunch. I was excited to see Scarbados, as The
University of Hull has a campus there and we share library books with
them. We parked the car a while away
from anywhere, so we had quite a way to walk. Scarborough seems to be on a
massive hill – which is great to walk down, but not so good to walk back up! It
did mean however I got a good view of the bay, town and harbor. It was very
picturesque, and reminded me that there are beautiful places nearer to home. We
had lunch in a local café, and as it was nice to eat somewhere that wasn’t
branded. We then wandered down onto the sea front. Scarborough is….different.
You could definitely tell it was a Yorkshire town! Many great characters! We
stopped off in a sweet shop to buy my sister a souvenir. We then wandered down
to the harbor, where all the fishing industries were located. We were admiring
the view when we got called to help moor a ship! My dad was very excited! I
admired the coastal erosion management structures in the form of a concaved sea
wall and rock armor as we continued walking along the sea front. When we got
down as far as we dared we ate chocolate fudge before wandering into the town
to do some shopping.
It was a really
nice day with the family and it was nice to go to a sea side town. Although the
weather wasn’t great, I am definitely excited for Summer trips to the beach now!
