In the rain we travelled via the ring roads down to Canterbury with the GPS doing pretty well and went to the beautiful cathedral- it was 10 quid each to get in which seemed a little steep, but what a church-it had heaps of little chapels inside the main church and crypts of all the dead arch bishops in it!
Graeme got to play with the new Sony camera we bought in duty free- very easy to use. We shared the place with hundreds and hundreds of french speaking school kids who were obviously on a trip away. Nice to listen to them speak and of course no swearing heard by these foreign ears!
The weather was spitting,the pouring with rain. hail, cold, warm- everything but wind. We walked the quaint little streets- love their concept here of the High Street which is always a pedestrian street. We should have it at home in all the towns and cities.
We travelled on then to Gillingham to our hotel, then freshened up to go meet my cousins Debbie & Jonathon and their parents and family members for dinner. Four hours later we left! It was great to meet them all and I can see we would all get on as friends if we lived on the same side of the world. It was great.

Crikey those from Christchurch would feel the pain with that house!
