YES I DID SEE THE DOVER CASTLE

+ On a bright, sunshiny day, I took the train from Canterbury to Dover Priory and walked up the hill to the Castle. I met a father and son from New Jersey and we shared our experience with some great conversation.

+ Train travel in England is very convenient. By booking ahead we got great deals.

+ Pubs are closing all over England. The Three Tuns in Canterbury which is recommended by Rick Steves is boarded up and unrecognizable. Some one told me that It had never closed for 500 years but it went bankrupt last month. He also told me it has new owners.

+ The Tate Gallery in St. Ives, Cornwall is not to be missed if you get to that part of England. Supurb architecture. However, it often closes between exhibits so check ahead.

+ Our wonderful trip will soon end but I will have all these great memories and plenty of photos.

+ Getting and using a mobile phone (cell phone) is easy and cheap.
