Canterbury and Dover

Mom and I took a little overnight trip during the weekend she was visiting.  First stop was Canterbury!  The Cathedral...
We were not able to visit the inside as we arrived too late on Saturday afternoon.  There was some kind of private service happening, so it wasn't open for visitors.  But we were able to walk all around the grounds.
Some of the gardens were really beautiful!
We had a nice pub dinner out in Canterbury.  Then Sunday morning we hopped a bus a little further south to Dover!
We hiked along the top of the cliffs, a little over a mile out to the lighthouse. Because we were quite early on Sunday morning (well, 10am, which is early for the British!), we had the path mostly to ourselves. 
Do you see how bundled up I am?  Mid-June here people.  In the 50s and the wind was blowing.  The "Great British Summer" they like to call it.  Ha!

  1. I love that architecture of that cathedral... So gorgeous. And oh my that scenery at Dover is beyond words. Wait? The British don't wake up before 10am? That's a first... Ugh! 50s - goodness that's like a November type weather
