A drive through Norfolkshire

Today we needed to get from Croydon, on the southern side of London, around and up to King’s Lynn, where we will tour Norfolkshire for a couple of days.

A few photos added to an album for Ely:

Our only stop for the day was Ely, a church city about an hour south of King’s Lynn. Its church is apparently a big deal, because as I stepped in I saw signs for admission prices of 8 POUNDS. The reason it’s so expensive is that it’s a mandatory 12-month ticket - you can’t just buy a single-visit admission. I contented myself instead with taking photos from just inside the front door, which is before the admission area, and outside:

Ely Cathedral

After that we went for a bit of a wander through the backstreets. There was nothing much to see really, but there were some nice buildings and streets all the same:

The rest of Ely

That took up the whole day, none of us really felt like doing much more at this stage. So tomorrow we’ll explore some local attractions. Until then!
