A Travellerspoint blog

Hello from Lincoln

sunny 17 °C

I have a few spare minutes before dinner so I thought I'd quickly jump on the internet again.

We after spending time in Barrow we travelled across the countryside from East to West to a town that was thought to have inspired Bram Stoker's Dracula, Whitby. It was a beautiful seaside town which was overlooked by a very old Abbey which is now a historic ruin.

As Bec said to me ... if ever there was a port for Ghost Ships Whitby would be it. You could almost see the Black Pearl drifting into the Harbour which was covered by thick blanket of fog.

At night time after having the yummiest battered Fish and Chips (ever) we decided to go for a stroll to the Abbey and Cemetary at the top of the Hill. The cemetery was covered in fog and it was really dark...scarey...I almost jumped when the clock tower rang saying it was 10pm.

I woke up really early to take some dawn photo's of Witby but the fog was so thick I don't think any of them will turn out. Unfortunately, we only had one night in Whitby so next time I go there I'd love to spend atleast a few days to look around and relax.

From Whitby we drove to Lincoln via York. It was raining really hard on the drive to Lincoln so we were lucky to get there without getting lost. We are staying with some family friends in Lincoln and they have been looking after us really well.

I'd better go and as I said before I'll try to login in London.
