We took the train to Southend-On-Sea. It was a gorgeous day! I've been here a few times and it's one of my favorite seaside towns. Lexi asked what it was like and I told her "White Rock on steroids"! We had fish and chips on a patio overlooking the sea. Then we walked the longest pier in the world. When we got to the end there were lots of guys fishing. Cec met a fellow from Ontario, No one was catching anything. Lexi wasn't interested in the amusement park. We saw lots of people swimming in the ocean. It was a great day! We walked at least 6 kms!

View from our table. Everyone ordered the fish. It was delicious! |
|
Captains plate, scampi, calamari, sole, chips, salad and garden peas, Cec's lunch and it looked good |
|
We walked it both ways |

The train is great if you don't need the exercise. We had to walk off the fish and chips! |
