We originally went for a holiday to this place as Kieran had just arrived back from her holiday back to Aus and I had to work that week around the UK. I finished up my week in a place called Great Yarmouth a beach side town (click here for the hotel). We probably would have not stopped here if it wasn’t for me working, but we wanted to go away for the weekend and why not go there. We booked a hotel and Kieran had to travel up by train on her own which was ok and a nice journey through the English country side.
We checked into our room (the nicest of the whole hotel) we felt like royalty
Saturday
The next day we woke to have our full English breakfast and then had a 
walk around the town and pier, looked at a few of the gaming arcades and as we didn’t have a car decided to go see a movie (starlight). That night we searched around for a nice restaurant to eat in, it was the last day of the season before they all shut for the winter. We found it difficult to get a table; we have never had an issue with restaurants before. To be in a place on its last day of a season is a new thing to experience.
Sunday
As we had done so much the day before we didn’t know what to do with ourselves, no cinema, as they did not open till after 12 and our train was at 2 so we didn’t want to be late. We just decided to go have some lunch and then hit the gamming rooms. Great Yarmouth’s main beachfront Rd is over run by bingo halls and shops filled with skill testers, and arcade games….literally shop after shop with exactly the same games and machines. 
It was a nightmare to get home due to weekend track work. We caught a taxi to the train station and then had to get a bus to the next station and from that the train to the next and then another bus to the last train that would take us into London. It was a nightmare we finally got home at 8pm that night and were happy to be home.
