ScarboroughAfter I finished work on Saturday, Hana drove me, Abi and Tasha to Scarborough to see Lydia at university. It took about 2 1/2 hours to get there, so once we arrived we quickly got changed and went out for dinner at Ask. I had three courses as I was feeling particularly hungry! I had sea salt and rosemary bread with olive tapenade for a starter, followed by crayfish, crab and prawn ravioli and finally a plum and almond tart served with vanilla ice cream. We shared a bottle of prosecco and a bottle of wine, and with a tip mine came to £30.50 which I thought was reasonable.
Afterwards we walked to a place called Blue Lounge (after being nearly run over by a man on a mobility scooter and being flashed at by a guy in a window!) where we had a drink and a dance. The DJ was really bad at mixing songs though, and it got really busy and sweaty, so we moved on after an hour or so. We went next door to a place called The Barbican, that reminded me of a mixture of a Wetherspoons and a Revs. We got a fishbowl for £8 and sat down as we were all feeling pretty tired. We headed back to Lydia's at around 1.30am as we all just wanted to sleep!
The following day we got up and ready to go and explore the town. We drove to North Bay and had fish and chips at a cafe overlooking the castle which was lovely. Afterwards we went for a paddle in the sea and walked along the beach. We then drove to South Bay, which was a bit more touristy (rock, amusement arcades and donkeys rides etc!) and we had ice creams and made sandcastles. The weather was really nice, we were very lucky!
After a while we decided to head back to Lydia's so stopped at Tesco to get some drinks and magazines. There was a little park at the end of her road so we sat and chilled out there for a while before setting off for home at five. We were home by 7.10pm, but then I had a magazine article to research and write, so it was a rather late night for me!
