We disembarked the ferry, impressed by the famous ‘white cliffs of Dover’ and drove to Canterbury. This city is famous for 2 world-heritage sites: Canterbury Cathedral and St Martin’s church which are part of its medieval heritage. The old section of the town has well-preserved buildings and of course, the cobble-stone roads. St Martin’s is the oldest parish church in England, having continuously operated since the 4th Century. It feels good to be back in England, driving on the left-hand side of the road again and being able to communicate with ease. We have a week left in England before we leave our little ‘home on wheels’ behind and attempt to fit back into our 2 suitcases. Hopefully, Cyclone Irene will have completed her time around New York before we arrive!
