Tour in a Day

My second visitor this Easter Break was May Ling, who came up for a day. And you know what? A day trip is in fact possible, although you don't get to see everything. Well, tours here would mostly consist of the same venues now, so I'll let the photos do most of the work.

Near the cathedral
Aren't the tulips gorgeous? The green carpet of the park had an extra layer of cherry blossom petals, like icing on a cake. A good spot for picnics!

The painting once hidden as a table
We also went to Britons Arms (second time for me) and got to sit in the rooftop garden this time. The weather was good that day so it was pretty comfortable sitting there, although there was an annoying bee. That's besides the point, though. The food is on the pricey side but it's no big fuss since the food is delicious and it's supposed to be traditionally English.

We went into the Castle after that. During the last hour before closure, which is at 3pm, anyone can get into the museum for 1 pound instead of 6. Again, with time constraints, you won't be able to see everything but a couple more trips might cover it anyway!

Norwich Castle

Armoury
As we headed towards the Market, we walked pass the interesting little shops and a sign in the window of a sweet shop caught my eye...

Golden Ticket, Anyone? 
Of course, you'd know that it's no Willy Wonka experience but it does make you feel like taking part, doesn't it?

Titbits at the Easter Market!
When we reached the Marketplace, lo and behold! There was an Easter market being held right beside it, with more little stalls to look at. Part of it somehow reminds me of the 'pasar malam' (Malay for 'night market') back at home.

Hotdog!

Tempting, ain't it?

Another View
Have you watched shows with people selling or eating caramel coated apples? I know I've seen them in movies of medieval times and even that scene in 'Enchanted'! There was a snacks stall selling just that. I couldn't help it.

My delicious chocolate coated apple!
Anyway, the Easter break is ending soon, which means it's time for me to hit the books!
