A Broad on the Broads

Yesterday was K's birthday, her choice was to walk from Cley to Blakeney and back but the weather had other ideas so we reverted to plan B.
Kicked off the birthday celebrations with Bucks Fizz and a full EB, then took time looking around all the little shops in Holt (while dodging the showers). It stands apart from most places in it's lack of national chain stores. With the exception of Spar and a couple of banks, they're all independants. Later on we had our best meal of the holiday at a mediterranean bistro called Balthazar.
Today we've been sampling different modes of transport. We drove to Aylsham for a look round and a cuppa; then took a narrow gauge steam train for the 40 minute ride along the Bure valley to Wroxham.
Wroxham's known as the 'Gateway to the Broads' so we decided to have lunch on the river and hired a little boat. Weather stayed dry but a little chilly. We're currently back on the train, steaming towards Aylsham. Can't believe that tomorrow is our last full day ;-(
