The White Cliffs of Dover


As posted previously, our good friends the Turners came down from Edinburgh to help us celebrate Luke’s 30th birthday.  Because we live outside of Cambridge and have to take the bus to get anywhere, we decided to rent a car so that we could be a bit more free with what we wanted to do and when.  It was fantastic.  I miss that freedom – I just don’t miss the cost. 


Because we had the car and the weather was beautiful, we decided that a road trip was in order.  Luke did a bit of research and we decided on the White Cliffs of Dover.  Dover is on the southeast corner of the island and is where you can take a ferry to the continent or the EuroStar train through the chunnel (channel tunnel).  There also happen to be amazing chalk cliffs. 



So we packed a picnic lunch and headed south.  It look us right at 2 hours to get there.  After lunch, we headed off to see what we could see.  It’s always amazing when you top a hill and see something as amazing as the cliffs.  I can’t tell you how many times we stood dumbstruck by the majesty of creation. 











On our way home we decided to stop in to Canterbury to see the cathedral and have dinner.  Definitely a good choice.  The detail on the outside of the cathedral is amazing.  I have no clue what the inside looks like, but I’m sure the stained glass alone is awe inspiring. 










Hope you enjoyed the pictures.

Love & miss you,
Aubs, Luke & Luther
