Beautiful Norwich

We decided we had explored a lot of the city and decided to go on the Riverside walk, which as the name suggests is a path along the beautiful river that runs across Norwich.  While walking along it we felt like were hours away from the city, not five minutes.  We saw people hanging out in boats and families fishing.  The walk goes for miles, but we decided to only for a part of it.  I love walking by the river and seeing a mixture of ancient and modern bridges adorning the river.  At one point we hit a building called Cow Tower which is a medieval tower that was once part of the wall of the city and was used to help defend the town during sieges.  It's closed off to visitors now because it is falling apart.  But you can still look inside and see the ancient staircase, and the beautiful interior.

I know my mother would love walking down this road, so mommy, when you come visit bring a fall coat, I'm taking you here!

At one point along the journey we took a different path and ended up in the north end of the city and found the Adam and Eve pub which has been a pub since the 13th century.  It was quite beautiful inside, but a tad expensive.  We'll go another time.

This path led us to a place in the city that is quite similar to Kensington Market, but a little sketchier....It had quite a bit of antique shops and vintage shops.  I found an antique shop with an oddities section with some of my favourite things that tempted me.  Objects such as a taxidermy double headed chick, skulls, shrunken heads and other awesome things.  Taylor wasn't very fond of this area so we left and quietly made our way home.

I thought I should just randomly mention that I just finished baking Tahini cookies and man do they taste delicious!
