After our Leeds, Dover, Canterbury & Greenwich visits traveling on the coach we are getting ready to board our boat for our cruise on the Thames River back up to London. Where toour surprize, not having been told ahead of time, that our tour ended back in the middle
of London & we were to find our own way back to our hotels!!! I thought it was an English
joke, but it turned out to be for reals!!! So......we took a deep breath & said let's go try to
find an underground tube station which luckily we had ventured into trying out the day
before so we were successful in making it back ok!! It was on hands ADVENTURE!!!!
That's the Queen's Palace behind me where Henry VIII &Anne Boelyn lived when they were first married in their
happier days & where Queen Elizabeth was born.
The Queen's Palace gates.
These are the famous White Cliff's of Dover where we stoppedand had nice lunch at a on the beach restuarant. The beach itself
was pure 1-2 inch rocks, kinda hard to navigate & easy place to
break an ankle. I guess because it's in the chanel the huge waves
of the open ocean don't get in here to break them up. The guide assured
us they had many other beautiful beaches elsewhere in England!!
