Week 10 - Wednesday - Hull

To be fair to Hull, we did not arrive here in the best weather to really appreciate it's beauty! However I must say that it looks a nice city and lots of amenities nearby.

We only had to walk 100 yards to the cinema to watch Spiderman (Tom/me) and Snow White (Mom) and 50 yards back to an Italian!

It was graduation day and town was full of very smartly dressed parents proudly accompanying their equally smart child. The restaurant was full of these well attired people, so we felt a little out of place in our boat Scruffs!

We let Mom go to the showers on her own this morning, after practicing how to get back through the gate. However I forgot to tell her that you need to push a button to exit the toilets, so she was stuck there until a handsome sailor let her out! (tell Katie and Abs that she may have found her toy boy after all!)

The weather is closing in again, so we decided to head here to wait for a day or so.

The next part of the trip is complicated, with very few safe ports - so getting it right is proving tricky. Maybe Grimsby tomorrow.
