although, as Eccles said, we will be on the train so anywhere outside the town is a no no 
Well, had a very pleasant day out today
Changed trains at Cambridge and arrived in Kings Lynn at about 10:30am. A bit nippy mind you, but at least it was dry and still. I was surprised at how many people were out shopping. Some people are a glutton for punishment!
The old part of town was very quiet though, not many tourists about.
The old Customs House was interesting (Over 300 years old). It was still being used by Customs and Excise up until 1989. It's now open to the public as well as being the tourist infomation gaff. Did you know that whaling was positively encouraged in the old days? In fact whalers used to get a bonus as well as not having to pay any taxes! Can you believe that? No wonder whales were almost wiped out!
We looked in at the Riverside Resturant, but as we only wanted something light, we chose The Crofters Coffee shop, which is part of the same complex. Very nice it was too.
A very enjoyable day out. Made a change to go on the train too!
