Whitby

On the day we had finished up our business at Wilton Center, Daniel drove me to Whitby ( which he visited in a sunny day last year) and raved about the nice fishing port. We drove through winding roads which passed through moors. I didn't get to see the moors because by the time we left work at 4.30 pm it was already nightfall. We parked somewhere and walked up the hill. The lights were spellbinding.... :)


My stamina wasn't particularly great, thank goodness for the benches along the hundreds of steps i was able to take a breather and enjoy the scenery.

At the top of the hill is the Whitby Abbey, another ruin. It was decorated with changing lights colour, which lent it a rather eerie feel. It wasn't particularly easy to get decent photos, but the blue lights gave it the best glow. According to history, Count Dracula once came to this place... so it was only fitting for us to visit this Abbey 3 days before Halloween.

It didn't help that to get to Whitby Abbey, one has to pass through a cemetery. My sister Crispy thought that i decided to partake in a Ghost Adventures episode...haha..

We came down from the hill, and went up another to see Captain Cook's statue. It would've been nice if it was during the day, for this statue overlooks the ocean. Alas, i was unfortunate to visit at night, so no seaview for me....*sob*
