Harwich.....The Cliff Road

Today we had an English breakfast at The Muppets, a small breakfast nook not far from the Tower.
It gave us a different view of the town, sitting alongside the locals having their morning coffee.
Since it was early Monday morning, the streets were alive with people either going to work or
women doing their daily chores.  Today was also trash day and the trucks were banging and clanging
as the garbage boys were doing their thing, all the while stopping to chat with their friends along
the route.  Another nice day in Harwich and after our rubbery English bacon and strange tasting
sausage, we headed to Cliff Road to the seacoast walk.  Both of us are still foot sore from yesterday's
long hike so we sought out the nearest bench , unhooked the binoculars and scanned the horizon.
We also strolled to the park at the end of the road a came across a few enormous oak trees for which
this isle is noted.  The photos show your's truly nestled in one of the largest.  The house is on the
corner of Cliff Road and is typical of structures in this part of Harwich. Tomorrow is our final day here
and I'm getting ready to put our boarding papers in order and tagging the luggage.  So far, I haven't
screwed up on the paper work or connections.  Here's hoping the good weather holds out for sailing.
The first stop is Copenhagen and a morning tour.

Wednesday, July, 25 and the weather is still looking good.  This is our last day in Harwich and we
had an early breakfast in the bar which is covered with photos of the Beatles.
