On Sunday, I visited the coast of the North Sea at Waxham (not to be confused with Wroxham, a village we passed through to get there). It's about a 45 minute drive from Norwich. Waxham is a less busy spot on the coast that's a favourite of my host family. We brought coffee and tea and after walking along the shore, headed up to sit on the grassy dunes. At first we did not see many seals, but as the tide came in, they swam closer and closer to shore. The land was reclaimed from the sea centuries ago, and many areas on the coast have erosion barriers. If these aren't kept up, a lot of the villages and farmland would be underwater again.
