Whitby on Tuesday was warm but wet – still holiday season but a little quieter as visitors looked for indoor entertainment. The harbour and fishermen were busy. The Abbey which overlooks the harbour and town from a cliff top, stood proud, as it always has. Observing the Abbey ruins in the mist, helps to understand Bram Stokers inspiration for his famous works.
Rethymno is a rare combination of history and modern-day luxury, with its multicultural old town, tropical beaches and exquisite Cretan cuisine.

Camping on the pig farm beyond the abbey in the sixties �� But loved it. A fine wee nugget of a port town that never seems to lose its charm – there’s no room, unlike sprawling cousins of Scarboro, Brid and Filey
