Walled City
... school on an excursion with a Roman soldier in his gear leading them. He was quite funny as he was barking orders like they were his soldiers, they had plastic shields and swords and looked very serious.

The drive home is a long one and the bit between Sheringham and King's Lynn is the slowest part so we thought we'd break it up by heading back to Hunstanton for something to eat.
