Wall to wall people - Easter Sunday

Strange old day - one couple had to check out early due to a problem at home which meant we had a room to do, unusual on a bank holiday. As they didn't come down for breakfast they also missed their Easter eggs and hot cross buns which were appreciated by all. After lunch we decided to go down town, we can't understand why people go away for the day on a bank holiday Sunday, it was bedlam. Bumped into someone I worked with at Toyota who had only arrived in town at about 14:30 for a day trip!! Seems as though I had a lucky escape when I left 3 years ago as there are going to be lots of redundancies. We walked the West Pier and then the East Pier after we had battled our way along Church St. At the end of East Pier I had a "Whitby Christening" from one of the seagulls - whoever said that it is Lucky!! When we got back home the doorbell kept ringing as we now had a vacancy, but despite the notice in our entrance indicating a minimum stay of 2 nights everybody just wanted one! The photo is wall to wall people in Church Street, most of whom never stray off the beaten track and see the real Whitby.
