Scarborough

Scarborough today!

Another fun day in Yorkshire today. Scarborough is a rather stereotypical English seaside town - some of it not our normal cup of tea but we did find some cool things to do. We had a go in the funicular to get from the beach to the town - it's been there for over a hundred years and it's pretty cool.



We found a nice cafe for lunch up in the town and then headed for Scarborough Castle - it was just over there after all... Turns out 'just over there' is actually a fair wee trek, but we got there! There's not much of the castle left but it obviously did used to be pretty big, occupying a large part of the headland and offering great views over Scarborough.

I practiced some gymnastics and Dad and I had our customary battle!





From the castle we headed back to the beach. We stopped by one of the many amusement arcades and recycled some 2p pieces in the coin drop machines for a while and then found some ice cream :).

I practiced gymnastics on the beach - Mum and Dad insisted!


On the way back to the car we saw Cbeebies filming a show. It was interesting to see all the cast and crew involved for what could only have been a 60 second shot for some show. It was very funny when it went a bit wrong at one point and one of the actor's ice-cream was thrown over one of the extras!
