27072007; Sheringham/Cromer




Last week, I made an appointment with Noot and Nuchy to go to visit Sheringham.
And it was my first time to go out of Norwich to see the broadband; the Northern Norfolk
area.

We took the train for Sheringham at 11.45 in the morning.
And the price was very reasonable to travel there and also the duration for spending the time
on the train was good as well.
The price for an adult is only 6 pounds for the return ticket (with Young person's rail card is only 3.45 or a bit more) and the time on the train is around 56 minutes to get reach there.

Norwich Train station, waited infront of the flatforms.
The Norwich station is small and it has only 6 flatforms. But the roof is very high to look upon
of them, sometimes the dirty doves fly into the station, but it is nice anyway.
So far the train for Sheringham reached at the Flatform 4.

Pi Nuchy and Noot on the train.
Mustafa on the train.

We had a pleasant time on the train with the French Muffins which I bought at the Cafe;
Vava voom, downstair of my lovely musee.
It was very nice doh, and very big. anyway, we had a lot chats each other and we made
a noise, but fortunately there were quite few people on the train, so nobody gave us the glance
of the annoyance. :)

Exactly 56mins later on, we got reached at the Sheringham station. It was such a small town
than I expected.


The town of the Sheringham.

Bytheway, Sheringham is located in the further eastern part from Norwich.
and the town has so many fish and chips restaurant and also hand crafts shops and also chocolate and the fudge stores , open-sea-food shops and so on.

I bought the 8th bracelet in Sheringham. But I guess it is from Thailand or somewherelse
in one of the Asian countries. So far, it was nice and I like it.
The town is full of small shops and if you go furture towards the end of the town, you could find
the seaside.

Sheringham
If you go further, you could find the sea side like the above photo frame.
The difference between the Galway beach, the bay is covered with pebbles, not with the golden sands.
But it was nice doh, because of the sound of the pebbles.
when the water comes over to the bay, then it goes away backwards, and you see the white bubble which the water makes then you can hear the sound which the pebbles and the water create. That was really nice, such I can't explain it as a word or an adjective. but it is like
the music without lyrics.

At around 4ish in the afternoon, we took the train to go to Cromer which is closer to Norwich
rather than Sheringham.

So we took the train to Cromer.

Then reached at the Cromer like 15 mins later.

I think the city centre of Cromer is bigger than Sheringham, but it's like just city centre.
Anyway, in terms of the beach, I prefer Cromer.
coz I could walk down on the sand bay.
It was nice as well.
Cromer

Today I had such a nice time in the new place near the sea side; Sheringham and Cromer with such the nice persons I've got :)

27~30062007: Republic of Irealnd.

Emer in Galway.
20th Birthday at Emer's.
Eireand. is the originial name of the country.
So far, I had my 20th birthday in Ireland with lovely people surrounded by lovely and greenish
nature for the last 3days.

27.06.2007: From the Stansted Airport to the Dublin International Airport.
I met Emer in the right place finally and it was very nice to see who has been expecting after the
flight.
Anyway we had such a big hug each other and went around Dublin.
First of all, Emer and me took the bus to the city centre; O'connell street and she explained
some symbols of Ireland such as the 3 leaf clubs. ; means the holy father, and the son and the holy spirit. See? Ireland is one of the traditional catholic country in Europe.
And we passed the So many places in there and also I saw the big spiral as well.
it was really huge.

The spiral was built up by the british architects, and many Irish people don't like the silly needle in the city.
Anyway, it was the millenium project of Ireland, and you could see such a long and gigantic needle in everywhere in Dublin.
and we asked people how to get to the Guiness Brewery.
Guiness, Such a nice name and good design of the symbol and everything and also the ball inside
the can which makes a lot of creams and the bubbles in it.

The Original Guiness with Smile!

The entrance fee is 9 euros, I think that's quite expensive doh.
barley roasting and so fourth, there are so many different steps and very complicated to brew
the beers anyway, and the brewery was 7-staired-building.
and at the top, you could the taste the real Guiness :) very nice indeed. and also you could see
Dublin from the rather higher place as well.
And we went to the Emer's Hometown, Ballingasloe.
Ballingasloe, and the symbol of the town.
28.06.2009; Lovely weather!: of course the paradox. it was very bad to go outside anyway because of the drizzles and the wind.
and it was chill. So far, we got stucked in the Emer's giant house with her siblings and her boyfriend; Paul.
And I saw the lovely donkey. it was my first time to see the animals and the natural beauty in my life. I think Ireland is full of green grass and the trees and there was no mountain to block the eyesight. The ground was just plain and very wide to see all around Irealnd without any
huge mountain. so I felt that I could touch the cloud and the sky if I pointed out the sky with stretching arms.
it was really lovely view :)
So far, we drank too much bailey, it was my first time to drink bailey, but it was very sweety and so nice to drink.
But the problem was that night.
I broke the glass of her shower door by the accident.
Such a bloody stupid I am! I always do something very stupid everywhere I am.
Why my creature is like this?
could you answer it?
Anyway, the thing was solved out a bit with her and her family helps and the smile as well.
very appreciate to them.
29.062007; my 20th Birthday
went to Galway.
The Assumption of Mary into the Heaven
and the St. Nicholas cathedral in Galway, and established in 1966.


Inside the cathedral
Salt.. something beach. Galway
Galway Port.
and such a lovely sea side I've never seen before.
I've never seen the beach in the reality.
The Irish river is full of sands and the seaweed on the sand.
Even though the wind smashed on my face and hair, but it was very nice to see the beach and
the sea.
The name of the beach was salt something... woo.. I forgot the name.
anyway, emer explained that the end of the salt something sea, there is the US.
So I could guess that many Irish people crossed the beach to immigrate to the US in 200 years
ago, escaped from the Potato Femine.
And on the way back, we popped up the Supermac's. The 100% Irish Fast food shop.
and I tasted the Curry cheese chips. and it was not bad doh.

at Supermac's Galway
and hanging around the city centre of Galway, and Emer told me that many people around
west side of Ireland go to Galway to shop.
Ah! and I bought 3 jams and Emer bought me a chocolate; Irish coffee truffel flavour, and
the Irish Breakfast Jam as well.
I was very happy to imagine that I would taste it in Norwich.
But all my jams had to be taken out of my bag when I checked in at the airport.
What a stupid regulation they made!
Do you think I would terror in the flight with 4 jams?
Anyway, I got annoyed very much.. but at that time was very happy when I purchased those.
and we went to the night club and the pub as well. and Paul and Emer treated me too much
alchole; 3 pints of Guiness and Fat Frog, and some weird Irish small shot, the colour was red.
and they told me that I should drink to celebrate my 20th birthday, but I couldn't finish them.
coz it was really strong.
30.06.2007 the last day of the trip.
I just said good bye to Emer and her family. Such a nice host I had in Ballingasloe.
and went to Dublin and on the way of the airport, I just stopped Dublin; specifically the O'connell street and bought some souveniers for my friends then travelled and took some photos of Spiral.
I don't know why, but I really liked Spiral then came back to Norwich.
Nice Nice Journey and Such a nice treatment I received in there with Lovely Irish accent;
St. Patrick cathedral
The Spiral on the O'connell Street
Thanks a million!
