... with a harbour view room booked at The Dolphin, and a fab view of Venus and a crescent moon...
... The next day was full of excitement, we went on an adventurous seafaring voyage with extreme perils, such as a slight swell in the sea and a baby seal for 'Jolly Cap'n Roger' to avoid... 
... the whole journey out of the port and back in lasted 5, maybe ten minutes, and it's well worth it for the comedy value, it was only £3 to catch the boat from near the pompous queue at the Magpie Cafe, and was probably the best money we spent on the weekend, until that is we saw Elizabeth the Steam Bus...
... yes it is an actual steam powered bus (is this the future of camper vans!). Rog was very excited when for a couple of English pounds they let us board for the wonderous trip of a lifetime around Whitby, especially when flames came from the cab, but Elizabeth is slightly spoiled by the naff Thomas the Tank-esq face...
.... but I'm sure kids love it... then it was off in the van to Robin Hood's Bay to look for baby dolphins and fossils...
... though the only fossil I found was Roger, he found a blow fish in a window that he said bore an uncanny resemblance to me...
... I'm not convinced though!! That night, back at the Dolphin in the harbour view room we were treated to the spectacular sight of one side of Whitby bridge opening...
... amazing! The next morning it was kipper time, though the mere mention of kippers turned Rog a bit green so it was pot of tea then walk up to the Abbey without kipper time
maybe I'll get kippers next time....
All in all a great long awaited weekend break, now I'm back at work though so I'll just have to long await the next one!
