White Cliffs of Dover

We left our bags at tonight's B&B and struck out to hike the White Cliffs of Dover to St. Margaret's. It was a nice day for a walk, and the route furnishes lots of great views of the Dover harbour, the cliffs, the Channel, and the endless procession of ships and ferries coming and going between Dover and France. We took a bus from St. Margaret's to Deal, then rode the train back home.

Janene's pedometer crossed the much-sought-after 1,000-mile mark today! I guess we should have solicited walking pledges before we left. We might have raised enough to cure something.

Daily miles: 7.06 Expenses: £21.55 (bus to Deal, food)
