Canterbury and Dover

This is where we are at the moment as we catch up on the emails and the blogging. We have had a couple of lovely days.

On Wednesday we headed back into Canterbury and went on a human powered river tour. It was very scenic and we learnt lots of history again. Here we are coming through one of the low bridges.

We then headed to Dover and visited Dover castle. It was fascinating. Here is one of the war rooms in the secret war tunnels used in WW II.

We did heaps of walking.

Some of the rooms in the castle had been decorated as they would have been in Henry II's time. I didn't realise how colourful it would have been.

The Royal School of Needlework stitched all the embroidered cushions.

More Canterbury

We decided to head into town again today to check the net and blog. Must book places with internet in the future as we do miss it. Bruce has blogged today so check our other blog. It says I wrote it but Bruce did.

Bruce has managed to get a nasty cold and we made a visit to the doctor for antibiotics. Very impressed with the NHS as the visit was FREE! We are heading to Dover today. Yesterday we had a quiet day and just visited Whitstable on the coast and had afternoon tea. Here are a few more pictures of Canterbury.

Here is a lovely view of the River Stour.

Loved this lolly shop with a beautiful old stone doorway.

Here is a view of the ceiling of the cathedral.
