WHITBY 1 July 2012
Windy Sunday !
Once again, we followed student union to Whitby - the beautiful seaside town situated on the east coast of Yorkshire at the mouth of River Esk.
The scenery is breathtaking ! And I am missing the sea so much because I could always look at the sea when I am in Penang, Malaysia :)
Clear blue sky + Deep blue sea = Perfect match ♥
A trip to Whitby isn't complete without trying fish & chips !!!
You could see a lot of fish & chips restaurants along the harbour and people is holding a box of fish & chips, eating while viewing the breathtaking scenery !!
Our friends who went to Whitby one day before us recommended us to The Magpie Cafe. It is one of the finest fish restaurants in the area and it is housed in a distinctive black and white building overlooking the harbour in the historic port of Whitby.
Most importantly, the fish & chips tasted really good and fresh !
The fish and chips come in a BIG portion !
Our friends told us that they couldn't finish up the meal during their trip to Whitby.
So, me and K shared the regular cod fish & chips which cost us £11.95 and then we shared a cup of yummy hot choc (£2.25) too......
It is cheaper to take away the food but we decided to enjoy the fish piece by piece in the restaurant :)

As we were too full to board on the pirate ship boat (we were afraid that we would vomit in the boat..ha-ha), we decided to walked along the harbour :)
My friends who holding DSLR were busy shooting the seagull. Haha
Because the seagulls were so close to us :)

After the walk, we went to board the pirate ship boat.
We got a discount from the boss as we purchased the tickets in bulk and it cost only £2.30 *wink*
Whole journey took us about 20-30 mins :)
I couldn't describe the scene I saw during the pirate ship boat trip, it was just so pretty !
There are a lot of other boats available and the prices are different too !

We decided not to make our day trip in Whitby too rush as we thought that it would be better to slow down our steps and enjoy the scenery there ! :)
Last but not least, we climbed the countless stairs case to reach the Whitby Abbey which is located high up in the cliff.
We didn't pay the entrance fees to Whitby Abbey. We just happened to discover a pathway to the backyard and got a closer view of the Whitby Abbey :)
Guess what we saw at the backyard there? HORSES :)
Haha..okay..nothing special with the horses but we played around with the horses and fed them with the grass !

| So happy :) |

 |
| Bye, Whitby ! |
I am gonna look at the postcard whenever I miss Whitby when I go back to Malaysia ! Hehe
I love everything about Whitby ♥
Maybe because it is so different from the other places in England, or maybe because of the sea view :)
