All of us at the Cliffs of Dover.

Today was an early day for all of us. We all were downstairs in the lounge by 8am where everyone would be handing their paper into Professor Wolfe to be graded on the train to Dover. After chomping a quicj breakfast of croissants and bananas, we all headed to the Victoria train station to get the train to Dover. It wasn't a long ride, mostly cause most of us were asleep. Even though the weather was not in our favor, and there was a slight chill in the air, the White Cliffs were gorgeous. Along with the castle on top, they were a sight to behold because of the location. At one point Dover used to be a port, out in the water there are still the sights where the ships would come in and dock. Also, about 20 miles off the coast of Dover, you can see the country, France. After some quality time on the beaches of Dover, we headed back to the train station going towards Victoria station but we got off at Canterbury East. There we headed toward the quaint town of Canterbury where the Cathedral lay at the heart of the city. It was a gorgeous Cathedral and was absolutely massive. There were so many smaller chapels inside, and a large crypt too. It was gorgeous to observe and see all the memorials and tombs of people past who took part in the Cathedral. Even though today was a shorter day, it was nice to go to Dover and relax on the beach and walk around Canterbury.

Until tomorrow, we shall see whats in store ....
