Ipswich; Saturday, 25 June, 2011

After an excellent breakfast I staggered out of the hotel to have a look around the town. I had a long wander and ended up at the town’s museum.

Having had a look around that I went for a bit more of a wander before I realised I had pretty much exhausted all Ipswich had to offer so I headed over to the station.

I caught the train out to the nearby Cathedral town of Bury St Edmunds and had a long wander around there taking in the Abbey gardens and ruins of the Abbey as well as the Cathedral and town centre.

From there I caught the train back into Ipswich and then out to Lowestoft to have a look around there. Unfortunately, I quickly realised that there wasn’t much to Lowestoft (once you’ve gone to the Eastern most point in Britain you’ve pretty much done the town), so I wandered back to the station and rather than wait nearly two hours for a train back to Ipswich, caught the train up through the broads to Norwich, which made for an interesting ride.

After stopping for dinner in Norwich I caught the train back down to Ipswich, had a final wander around the town centre and headed back to the hotel.
