We have had a couple of night here in the basin and bit of a wonder round. Last night we ate at the Giggling Squid, one of a small chain of Thai restaurants but not one in Lowestoft unfortunately.. it was all over in 5 minutes and we continued walking back We got a bit wet on the way back to the boat, walked out of the restaurant and said what a lovely evening, 5 minutes later it fell down, we sheltered in a door way but the rain came down so hard the splashing soaked up to our knees.
The moorings over night were surprisingly quiet for being in a town.
Today we had lunch from a stall set up on the other side of the basin, there were numerous food stalls
weatherspoon’s and a filled bubble waffle.
A wander down the river bank in the afternoon to see what boats were about and there we found another Harnser, a Steve Hudson one.
he chain ferry was doing a good trade, I estimate that its probably a little over 50 cranks of the handle to traverse the river.
There are a few plaques on the wall by the tail of the lock down onto the river commemorating the restoration of the canal.
This evening we decided to go out for dinner again, its not that often we are moored up in a town, so after carefully examining menus at around lunch time we booked a table at Lambs on Sheep Street and I can say we weren't disappointed, it was first class and no more expensive than the chain establishments.
