degrees, partly cloudy, calmer along the sea
Southend
is home to the world’s longest pier, so…we have to walk it. It’s a bit less
than 5K return. It’s basically just what it sounds like…a really long pier. At
the end is a souvenir shop, café and some spots to sit. Today was probably the
best day to walk the pier as it was the least windy. At the end we got a pint
(still no beer for me) sat for a while, watched the men fishing and watched the
world go by…lovely.

The
beach today is a lot busier than the last couple of days - the beach is pretty
packed. We have a bit of a hard time finding a pub we like, so we settle on
happy hour back at the room.

Dinner
was at a neighborhood Italian spot in the posh area of town not far from our
hotel. The restaurant is basic and not at all posh, but the houses and cars in
driveways on the way there were POSH! I think to live in the neighborhood you
need to have a Porsche, Range Rover and a Rolls Royce…OK, we only saw one Rolls
Royce but still…
Total
steps today according to the Fitbit…19700 (14k-ish), not bad, but no 30000 (20k-ish)
like yesterday.
