Dover

Spent the day in Dover as it is still too windy to continue.

Surprised to find that Dover Castle is more than just a navigational mark and a point of interest when heading up the coast to Ramsgate. It kept us entertained for most of the day. It was a very long walk up the hill, capped by a flight of eighty four stairs, a further seventy six stairs up from the second world war tunnels and just as many from the ancient tunnels under the castle proper. Then there was the four flights to the castle roof. We didn't quite manage the battlement walk.

There were some intriguing instruments in the WW2 watch tower, or so Bob said. He was less enthusiastic about the saxon church. Both exhausted and need to be fitter.
Moving on tomorrow.

  1. Hi Both
    I've read your blog spot and would have left a comment but have to 'join' something else!

    Anyway, love the site and the news about your trip so far. Even Dover sounds fun! Maybe a travel book next - just given a book on Travel Writing to Brian.

    So glad Tehari2 is such a good ship and keep checking that aft cabin!

    Have fun you lucky wotsits...

    Love
    Pam

  2. I reckon that the sailing itself will probably work any fitness issues out. Looking forward to the next bit!
