We arrived about an hour later and parked up just outside the city walls. We went for coffee and had a good catch up together with a few tears reminiscing and talking about Dale, who is sadly very missed and thought of.
We took a walk around the cathedral, taking in the many wonderful views and architecture and continued our exploration of the historical streets. Stopping to look at old churches, and quirky timber famed buildings.
We went to take lunch by the river and all succeeded in polishing off a roast dinner, washed down with cider and cold beer.
Afterwards it was time to take life easy and we took a comical river trip down the very small stretch of canal adjacent to the restaurant. We were supplied with a young guide who seemed to be able to make a joke out of anything, although I get the feeling it wasn't all historically accurate!
With everyone still full from dinner walking was just not an option, so we hopped into the car and made a dash for the coast, stopping at Whitstable for a bevvy on the sea front before it got too cold for our guests accustomed to warmer climes.
