Before we leave day 8, here are some photos of last night's dinner at the Fisherman's Wife in Whitby -

Scallops from the Shetland Islands

Haddock with shrimp and sea beans

Mixed seafood curry

We left Whitby after breakfast at the No. 7 Guest House. There are 199 steps up to the Abbey (after the 40 or so steps down to the river). Here is a picture looking back at Whitby and our lodgings -

A little farther along, we could see the Whitby breakwater as we looked back at the coast behind us - 

And farther along, we spotted this wreck in the foreground of the photo -

We passed an old fog horn station and lighthouse (both can now be rented as holiday lodgings) -

The day was beautiful, and we enjoyed wonderful views of the coast -

Finally, we came to Robin Hood's Bay. It is a charming old town built on the hillside. This picture is looking back as we walked on to Ravenscar -

The Raven Hall Hotel is the only one in town. We have a lovely view from the window in our room -

While eating dinner, we saw these rooks flying homeward as the shadows fell -

Back at our room, the sunset was beautiful, the end of a wonderful day -
