A Day In Dover

Dover, England that is, not Port Dover, Ontario. On Tuesday, September 11th my parents and I ventured on a day trip to this small town about 1 hour outside of London to see the famous White Cliffs of Dover. And we sure did see them! We had a personal tour guide named Mark meet us at the train station and with him we walked through the town. It was a beautiful clear day so from the shoreline we could see over to France! There is a lot of trucks (aka lorries in British speak) that drive and port here to send freights of cargo over to France for export. We hiked up to the top of the cliff and walked all along the edge. Don't worry, I didn't get to close! We visited an old lighthouse where Mark gave us a private tour! Then we headed back to the main town. In total that was about a 7 mile walk! The most I've walked in one day in a long time. We had a wonderful Indian dinner at a local restaurant there. I had fabulous Chicken Kurma. :) yummy! Before it got too late we caught a train back to London.

 

If you look closely you can see a path that follows close to the edge of the cliff. That is what we walked along!
