food

visit to Whitby

Last Thursday, we went to Whitby, a small town in the northeast of York. It is famous for its food-- fish and chips. We tried it in the most famous restaurant-- The Magpie Cafe.

Whitby is also famous for a person--- Caption James Hook. He was born near Whitby and grew up in Whitby. He start his voyage from here and he discovered New Zealand and the east coast of Australia. All his ships were built in Whitby because Whitby was the main area where built the ships. 

It is the museum of Caption Hook. It was a pity that the museum didn't open in the winter.

It was cold and snowing, and the scenery was very beautiful. We saw the ruined Abbey standing alone on the top of the cliff, the harbor full of boats, the door made of two whale's ribs,and the cemetery of 1880's located in the hill. All things I have seen made a deep impress on me for its beautiful appearance.
