Cadbury, Cambridge and the Coast

With only a few days left for touring England, we decided to re-visit some old favourites.  First stop - Cadbury Chocolate Factory in Birmingham.  Plenty of free tasting along the way and we learned a thing or two about how those delicious Easter eggs are made.
Cambridge is always a fun place.  The colleges were closed for student examinations so we focused our energy at the outdoor market, shops, and viewing a few unique landmarks along the way... like the Cricket Clock.

The next day we drove to the Norfolk coast and took a Seal Boat Tour at Blakeney Quay.  The seals were very large this time of year and many were swimming in the sea right up next to our boat. 
The afternoon was sunny and the beach seemed very inviting even though the wind was a bit cool -  not too cold that the girls weren't willing to get quite wet though!  We enjoyed building sandcastles, flying kites and searching for shells on the beach.
