Leeds Castle,
the White Cliffs of Dover
and Canterbury Cathedral

We had another early morning (6:30 am) but we did have enough time to eat a little breakfast then hurry off to the West Kensington Tube Station where we caught the train to Victoria. Off the train at Victoria Station then down the street to the Victoria Coach Station. We arrived early and the Evan Evans Tour window wasn't even open. Finally we boarded our luxery motor coach and headed through london, past the Royal Observatory thus crossing the Prime Merridian into the Eastern Hemisphere, and on towards Leeds Castle:

Next, we were back on the bus and headed to Dover to see the white cliffs and the English Channel. It was a clear day and we could see the coast of France:

Then it was back on the bus and back to London where we caught the tube train at the Embankment Tube Stantion and on to West Kensington. A short walk and we were back at the hotel, exhausted. Tomorrow we would spend with friends in Gloucester. They asked what we wanted to do, by email, and I replied they should choose, just please, not a lot of walking. It was nice to have a day to relax.
