Tuesday Terry and Anne took us to Sandringham, the Queen's private family home. It is near the coastline of the North Sea set in a beautiful area of forests, ponds, and rhododendrons. The house is actually more like a palace. We were able to tour through their private rooms on the first floor and speak to the guides about the royals life in the house. The house is closed November through February and parts of July when the queen is in residence. The rest of the time it is open to the public. In the stables we saw many cars used by the family over the years as well. It was a terrific sightseeing trip.

After leaving Sandringham Terry took us 6 miles further north to the coast on the North Sea. Now we felt familiar territory in a harbor town called Wells Next the Sea. Unfortunately many of the little shops were closed for a half day on Tuesday. Terry tried to find fresh crab to bring home but they were all closed. So on the way back we stopped off in a lovely little town and had dinner at a coach hotel.
