A quick stop in to a side cafe down an alley called the Singing Kettle Cafe so Colin could enjoy a bacon bun with brown sauce and Maria had a cheese & onion pasty.
Then it was off to the wharf to catch a view of the stormy North Sea and watch the fishers cast off for sea bass and mackerel. Colin asked one of the guys fishing if he caught anything, it's been 5 hours only 1.
A short walk back into town to walk 199 grueling steps up to Whitby Abbey.
Almost there..
Are we there yet?
Finally!
Also at the top is St. Mary's Parish Church, they must get some strange requests.
This is the grave yard where Dracula is supposedly buried.
Do you see Dracula?
Here are ruins of St. Hilda's Abbey, high on Whitby's East Cliff over looking the North Sea.
And since it costs a lot of money to go in to actually view the ruins, Colin, Maria & their host Mel just stayed outside the wall and took more photo's.
Then it was back down the 199 steps (which was a lot easier then going up) to The Magpie Cafe for the best fish & chips in town, except it should be renamed WHALE & chips, where they filter and bottle their own water & buy their fish directly from the boats in the harbour! Colin also enjoyed Slipway Ale, brewed at the Captain Cook Brewery. A hoppy, light ale that went down waaaay too easy.
Maria and her small whale N chips.
Colin's whale N chips.
There was one more size.. The Killer Whale N Chips combo, enough to feed a small Newfoundland fishing village. After the travelers were done, the pants had to be taken out a notch.
After lunch, they ended their day by taking a dip in the North Sea..
Stock up on more beer for tonight because tomorrow is a new adventure!
