The first weekend I spent in England, I headed to Scarborough with my newly made friends. It was only a couple hour bus ride from Leeds, and a university organized coach left right from campus. There are four things to do in Scarborough- tour the castle, visit a famous grave, take a splash in the ocean, and visit one of the many fairs.
Savi, Sanyukta, Sun and I just after we climbed the hill up to the castle.
The view over the ocean was the stuff of dreams. None of us wanted to leave this wonderful place in the castle grounds. Kim is wishing pictures could recreate an experience like this.
Me, Sun, Kris, Holly, Kim, Sanyukta, Amrita, and Panna. We all still look back at this day as the most relaxed, beautiful afternoon. It was absolutely perfect.
This is the view away from town from atop the castle wall.
Amrita and I enjoyed the view.
On the walk back down from the castle, we stopped at Anne Bontë's grave. Anne may have been the youngest, least known sister, but she is still appreciated in Scarborough.
It was a sunny day of mid-sixties for our trip, perfect for sticking our toes in the cold ocean. Other students on our trip and plenty of British children were far braver, showing up in swimming "costumes" and playing for hours in the little waves.
I bet this message was left by international students from Leeds!
I don't have any good pictures of any of the fairs in Scarborough- they had many arcades and even an outdoor carnival, complete with rides, games, carnies, greasy food, and a Ferris wheel- but I did manage to capture the donkey rides!
Once we had done all there is to do in Scarborough, we lounged in this garden for an hour or so, soaking in the sun and waiting for the bus.
