Lastly from Norwich.....

I must tell you about our first evening in Norwich. We reunited with our friends that we met aboard Queen Mary - Nigel and Jeanette Ragan. All four of us really have enjoyed each other's company. They are simply "lovely" people.

On Friday, they took us for a little driving tour of the area and then to their home for lunch. They live outiside of Norwich in a country house that is 150 years old (if my memory serves). It is like out of a book. They then took us to the area north of Norwich where the river flows by. Nigel had leased a small boat and we cruised the river section known as "The Broads". We had champagne and strawberries and cream onboard while we puddled up the river. We stopped for a pint at a riverside pub and then finished up with a gourmet dinner at "The Broad Hotel."

It was a most enjoyable afternoon with two of the nicest people I've ever had the pleasure to know.
