irgendwie alli no chli müedToday we went to Whitby, it's on the east coast of England at the North Sea.
Your trip begun at 10 o'clock at Holgate Park and when we've arrived in Whitby we went 199 stairs up to the St. Mary's Church and the graveyards.
On the top you had a very beautiful view down of Whitby.
But we had also a problem...to visit the ruin of the St. Hilda's Abbey you have to pay £3,20 for students and £4,20. But we didn't pay this😊
We went along the wall and at the deepest point, we climbed over the wall and jumpt down of the ground where the ruin was. That was really funny but we couldn't go out through the museum 'cause we hadn't a phone that told you something about the Abbey. So we had to climb again over the wall.
We also had Fish&Chips. I don't really like fish but it was really good.
So...I think, that's all.
See you... Short informations about Whitby:

Whitby has produced its own famous sons. Amont these are Captain Cook, the 18th cenury explorer and voyager who sailed in the Endeavour (ship) from Whitby, the outstanding fahter and son whaling masters of the Scoresby family and pioneer photographer, Frank Meadow Sutcliffe. Captain Cook was the first man who had found Australia and New Zealand.
