Dover photos

Not the ferry we rode, but one like it.

A view of buildings surrounding the castle, from the top of the castle. Notice the trebuchet.

Another view of castle outer buildings from the top of the castle.

Dover castle. Started in the 1000's. Many additions over a couple of hundred years.

Those white cliffs!

St. Edmund's Chapel. Built in 1253.


One thing I didn't mention in previous blog. The "hostess" on the ferry felt bad for us, just riding the ferry, not getting off in Calais because it was too late. So, she arranged for us to visit the bridge of the ship. It was pitch black up there, because the crew couldn't see anything if lights were on, but all of the digital navigation equipment was lit up, and very cool!
