Yare and Bure half deckers on Barton Broads in a regatta, doing a passable impression of Edwardian afternoon entertainment for the good people of Norfolk, who are of course (all together) Norfolk and good.

Parrot fish poo

Apparently the whole beach and coastal strip is built on the nibbled off coral that's been through a parrot fish

Turtle Bay



Been here 4 days, not seen a single turtle. When we went to the Mangrove Swamp we had to go in a dugout canoe; how old-fashioned!
