31/8- Canterbury, England - exploring the town, gardens and river. The stone wall and tower shown int he photo with Angela date back to 1380 - it's a very beautiful and old town - we'll be sorry to leave so soon.

Canterbury, England - today we visited the cathedral and gardens - majestic and very beautiful. Canterbury has the best pedestrianised shopping centre I have ever seen, and only about 100 meters from our guest house - plus it's huge!

28/8- Travelling through Belgium - very little to see as it was quite a wet day, and very flat farmland. Plus the white cliffs of Dover which were vivid white when the sun shone

22/8 - incredible views - Austria on one side of the road and Germany on the other , with Hitlers Eagles Nest on the opposite peak - also saw the hillside where the first scene of Sound of Music was filmed with Maria singing ' The Hills are Alive'
