A relatively quiet day today.
Joan and John took us around King’s Lynn, a fairly large town of 40,000,
again on the River Great Ouse.
We were told the story of how Joan and John met in King’s Lynn and have
a photo commemorating that very spot!

We took a short drive to Hunstaton to see the coastline. This is one of the few places in England where the sun can be seen to set over the sea. Hunstanton is also notable for its
stratified, fossiliferous cliffs: lower reddish
limestone, known as '
red chalk', which was laid down during the
Lower
Cretaceous Epoch and is
topped by a white
chalk layer from
the
Upper Cretaceous Epoch.

Sandringham House has an interesting display if it is open. You can see the little cars that Prince Charles drove when he was 10 years old.
