Day Trip

Yesterday we went on a bus tour.

Our first stop was Leeds Castle, a beautiful old castle that has had many owners and iterations over several hundred years. The interior is an unusual mix of the old and new.

My favourite room was the library 🙂

We could have easily spent more time in the grounds of the castle exploring the hedge maze and falcon show but we’re on a tight schedule and only managed to squeeze in a sausage roll!

Our next – very brief – stop was the pebble beach at Dover.

We then continued to lovely Canterbury with its famous Cathedral, the seat of the Anglican Church.

This is a seriously old building, almost 1000 years in fact, and awe inspiring in its size and majesty.

I was particularly impressed by the abundance and beauty of the stained glass. That’s a more recent example above, and was many meters tall.

After Canterbury we then ended up in Greenwich for a Thames cruise back to London. It was a long day, but we got to see a lot 🙂
