The day before the ferry to Calais. A chance to explore Dover. Had great expectations of Dover but found it a dustier more worn version of Holyhead, Fishguard, Calais ... actually Calais is rather glam in comparison. Gorgeous weather though and so we played on the beach. By beach, I mean pile of gravel but in golden sun and the locals at play it all seemed idyllic and I got that same feeling I used to get when I would stop for a break at Lake Taupo on the way to Wellington - a desire to end my journey here and just have the holiday in this place. And then we went into town and decided eat back at the hotel.

I think my expectations were shaped by the image of the white cliffs. Without really thinking about it, I thought the place would all be shining white.

Despite the slight disappointment for you with Dover, that top shot is a great one. Looks like nice warm sunny weather too. Cheered me up on this rainy day in Aberdeen.

Thanks all. You've got it too. The moment was lovely. An afternoon on a beach on the first day of hol.s was lovely. Just the town didn't impress. Should have strolled up to the castle though.
