My final English excursion was presented to me by two other international students (one Latvian, the other Italian).
Me: 'so, what's there to see in Ipswich?'
Antonino (Italian or Latvian, you guess!): 'Ipswich.'
With only twenty-four hours left in England, that was all the explanation I needed.
Ipswich is just two train stops north of Colchester but for some reason costs four times more than going to the town that precedes it i.e. Manningtree.
Besides a bustling shopping-oriented town center, Ipswich is known for its waterfront area, only known simply as 'the docks.' This area has undergone extensive rebuilding, transforming the docks from an industrial to a commercial and residential center marketed toward higher income-earning individuals, atypical of those who currently inhabit Ipswich.
Boats
Town Hall
A historical church that had been converted into a cafe, complete with holy water hand-washing basin as you enter.
The closest I ever came to seeing a castle in England
