Hastings

For the end of Easter break, my son and I took a visit to Hastings for a couple of days. I’d never been and we had an awesome time!

Highlights include:

• 🌊 Strolling the beautiful pebble beach
• Riding the West Hill Cliff Railway up the hill to see
• 🏰 Exploring the crumbling ruins of the castle built by William the Conqueror, complete with spooky dungeons! 👻
• 🚂 Taking the miniature railway up and down the beach (about 6 times)
• 🖼️ Visiting Hastings Contemporary and enjoying the work of Elias Sime and Sir Quentin Blake as well as great art made by school kids via the “Pearls of the Sea” school engagement programme.
• Seeing some beautiful street art being made by Master Skosh
• Sauntering through the “twittens”
• Seeing the unique “Net Shops”
• 🐟 🍟 The requisite eating of fish & chips!
• 📚 Poking around bookstores & antique shops on George Street
• 🥐 Brunch at the Bullet Coffee House
• ⛳️ Playing Crazy Golf! ️
