Thanks guys!! lol, 

Anyway we left our mariner ,and cruised upto Rockland straithe ,to try out the re opened New Inn, we had a nice cruise up in reasonable weather, there were three boats at this time .

The Pub meal was very good, although the menu was not that extensive, the service and food were on a par with anywhare on the broads ,but a special mention for the chips....ummmy.

Here,s a coupl of snaps, the straithe was quiet with spaces all the time we were there,

 

Tommorow Sonia,s....and pirates.

After our night at Rockland it was decided to cruise up to The Ferry House, so we rang in advance and were told 4 moorings would be available at 2pm so we timed our arrival for nearly 2.

After we had moored up, we setled in with a table booked for 8pm.

around about 2 30 we joined by Tony from our mariner with his regal sports cruiser, making the party of 4 boats.

Strange things then started to happen.......they arrived in four of these.....

 

 

 

 

We had been invaded by a party of around 12 pirates, they were in very high spirits!!!(steady Bob!)

 

 

 

They were on a day out down the river and they were having a really good time,

Here,s a shot of our party......

 

 

in the afternoon we took the camera s out for a walk up to Surlingham church nature reserve, it was very quiet with not much going on......................

A view over the river, this didn,t work well, there is a cricket match going on and a herd of cows!! some wear......

When we returned the pirates left for thier next venue.......only to be replaced with a second invasion, these were more organized and were play egg and spoon races and sack racing???     .............

 

 

The games continued and a easy going holiday atmosphere was in the air.......then the first party of pirates returned to complete the afternoon,s comings and goings, after a quick rest and wash up it was time to eat,another great meal from Sonia.

 

The evening was rounded up like this whilst sipping my favorite tipple!!....nice

After we left Sonia,s we headed for Loddon, for a night, which was overrun..............with these!!! :  arghhhhhhhhhh
