Intro
My first abroad trip since November 2017, due to moving out and, of course, Covid 19 issue.
Booked Lissie ticket in September 2022 and at that time, there was no concert planned yet in Holland. Plus, this was a good opportunity to go to England.
Feb 15th 2023
Boat Hoek van Holland – Harwich 22:00 – 06:30.
Feb 16th 2023
07:45 Harwich International 09:41 Cambridge
Crack in track, between Bury St Edmunds and Newmarket.
Abandoned train around 9:00 am.
Had to cancel visit to Scott Polar Research Institute and Centre for Computing History in
Cambridge.
Also train 15:20 Cambridge 16:37 Norwich became a dream came not true.
Instead, from Bury St Edmunds to Stowmarket and from there to Norwich.
So way toooooooo early at the Premier Inn Norwich Nelson City Centre.
Did my scout walk to Norwich Arts Centre.
Also found out that Norwich Castle was in scaffolding state.
So do not have to go there
on Saturday.

Visited Colchester today.Did the Roman Fields Archeological Site, of course, Colchester Castle and surroundings,
including Natural History Museum Colchester.
Colchester Castle was fun and interesting. But the Archeological site: nice green field 😊.
Feb 18th 2023
In the morning/early afternoon to Lowestoft.From around 7 pm at Norwich Arts Center
From around 8:15 pm
Cat Clyde.
She did approx. 9 songs in her show.
Good voice, great play, good songs. She had her new album released yesterday 😊
From 9:15 pm Lissie time.
After seeing Lissie in Union Chapel in December 2015, this was another great awesome concert.
Such a joy to see her perform and sing. Another evening to remember.
YouTube.

Went to Sheringham today.Great fun with the steam train of the North Norfolk Railway.
On my way from Norwich to Sheringham, found out via 'What to do in Sheringham'
about the existence of North Norfolk Railway
and that they were operational today.
Made the steamjourney to Holt and back to Sheringham. 50 minutes in a steam train. Fantastic.

IWM Duxford (previous visit was in March 2011)
I was lucky at Duxford, not at Royston Road, where on the left, when the green field starts,
when
you are walking from Whittlesford Parkway station,
because they were preparing a historic aircraft
for a flight. And another one was dragged to the field.
At lot of noise from that historic aircraft. He took off, and it seems that he returned as well.
IWM Duxford is always interesting and never boring.

London (Abbey Road, London Transport Museum and Goodman’s Field).The Goodman’s Field have had a lick of paint, somewhat. Looks good.
Also plenty new buildings around Goodman’s Field.
And my first ride with the Elizabeth Line. Took it from London Liverpool Street to Paddington.
Other Underground rides:
Paddington – Baker Street – St Johns Wood.
St Johns Wood – Westminster.
Mansion House – London Liverpool Street.
Walked back to Tower Hill for Goodman’s Field 😊 (The Mac at Liverpool Street was too busy, even so for the Subway.)
My last visit to England was in November 2016.
Costa Cappuccino medium was then approx. 2.45 pond. Now 3.45.
Trains from Greater Anglia are improved (according to my last train ride in December 2015).
Also the information screens are good in the trains.
Busiest train I had was the one from Norwich to Whittlesford Parkway. From Ely it was full.
Empty at Cambridge.
Stations visited for the first time:
Colchester Town
Holt (steam train)
Lowestoft
Sheringham
Sheringham (steam train)
Stowmarket
Whittlesford Parkway
Also, most visits to England, includes at least 1 football match.
I had plans to go to Norwich U19 Forest U19. But I am not going to walk
along side a road, with no footpath, at night. That is asking for suicide.
Speaking about suicide, I saw the cyclists in London. What an idiots.
Another match I thought of, was Norwich CBS v Holland. But the bus back could have been triggy
by being not in time back at Norwich Arts Center.
Bye Bye.
