The White Cliffs of Dover

It’s been a couple of days since I posted here because the Internet connection on the ship has been either (1) down or (2) veerrrrry sloooow. But today it’s up and running at a pretty good speed.

The day before yesterday we docked at Dover, England early in the morning. Some of the passengers on the ship were going to go to London, but we decided not to go along because it’s a two-hour drive. Instead, we went to see Canterbury Cathedral, only about a half-hour drive from Dover.

The Cathedral is pretty amazing. Construction began in 1174 A.D. and it has been designated as a “World Heritage Site.” You can spend hours walking around inside. There are a lot of nooks and crannies to explore.

Back on the ship, we got a good view of the “white cliffs of Dover” which had heard of but never thought much about. The cliffs, which face the English Channel (and with France about 19 miles away) are made of calcium carbonate and really are white.
