It was raining when I went to Hastings, absolutely tipping it down. I spent most of it helping a friend find some birthday presents in the town centre, specifically the indoor shopping area.
My best purchase however was the complete Series 1 of Doctor Who DVD. I haven’t seen it for quite sometime, so I am so excited to see it again!!! Perhaps I should make a blog….
After all the shopping we found ourselves at a Costa. I ordered a hot chocolate with whipped cream and marshmallows. I had to share it though, the mug was bigger than I was and each marshmallow was as big as my head. So, maybe not the best idea I’ve ever had but it did warm me up.
After Costa it was straight back to the car, but not until I got a picture with the pier and the beach. Someone suggested we go up to where the Castle is and have a walk. Spending even more time in the rain, which I wasn’t too thrilled about.
We ended up in the Smugglers Caves. It’s caves underground with mannequins dressed as smugglers and various activities. They chart the basic history of the caves from smugglers using it to World War 2 when the caves were used as air raid shelters but they focus heavily on the smugglers. Personally, smugglers aren’t a particular interest to me, but it was fun going through imagining what it was like back in the day. (And it was dry)
After that we went home, although our driver got lost and decided to take us on a tour of a Sainsburys’ car park. She didn’t want the occupants of the other car to know, but I’m a telltale (I run a blog, that’s my excuse, wouldn’t be interesting otherwise), so I got photo evidence.
