The West part of Whitby, with promenade to the pier. Posted by Picasa

As I finish eating my fish, I see an interesting looking bus waiting. It turns out that this is a steam-driven bus, the only 3-axis steam-diven bus in the world! The driver was participating in the Harry Potter films, driving the steam train on the locomotive, and now he drives this steam bus on a tour around the town. I cannot resist and take the 15 minute ride, around the Western part of Whitby, going slowly up the hill, then down again. The steam engine sounds a little like a steam train, but it is different: more continuous.
