A day in Dover
It's a bit of an uphill struggle to Dover Castle but well worth the effort. I'd been before as the reader may recall from our Brigantia days but Glen hadn't
We enjoyed a good look round and hit the jackpot getting onto both tunnel tours without much of a wait
The steps up to the top of the keep nearly killed both of us but the view was worth it
The last time I took that photo, you couldn't see a thing as we were basically inside a cloud at the time!
Our mid afternoon ramble back to the marina was interrupted by the temptations of another fine pint of Adnams Broadside at Cullins Yard. That was followed by a snack and another pint. A third inevitably followed before common sense prevailed and we made our escape
We made a small diversion onto the beach to take on the sights.
The piling work for the new marina had ended for the day but there were various workboats and construction vessels maneuvering around
Having looked at the works and the final plans, I think through new marina might actually be an improvement
Back aboard, we didn't feel inclined towards anything ambitious dinner wise so Glen heated up some beef ravioli
Preparations were then made for an early ish start in the morning and an early night declared
(passage plan for tomorrow follows)
