There'll Be Bluebirds Over

The White Cliffs of Dover...

Had a look round the Ashford Designer Outlet, another massive DFO style factory outlet shopping centre.  Huge range of stuff at incredibly cheap prices especially with the strong AUS$.  Grabbed some stuff to take back...it was part of the plan, travel light to enable us to buy stuff with attractive exchange rate.

Then we jumped in the car and drove down to Dover to have a look at the cliffs.  I asked Carole to try and find the best vantage point for photos of the cliffs on the iPad and we eventually worked out if you went past the port and up the hill you could park at the top of the cliffs and wander about.  Turns out the best vantage point is on the beach at the base of the cliffs, as long as you are feeling energetic first to walk along the top to get there and then for the descent down.  Well more accurately for the ascent back up I guess.

Ben gritted his teeth and said he was keen.  Carole was going to wimp out but she was glad she got with the program as it was well worth the effort and looked a lot worse than it was - the climb I mean, the cliffs were amazing and it was a beautiful blue sky with the sun reflecting off them as it started to sink.

Just before you climb down the very long step ladder there are a few caves and tunnels that were presumably part of the smuggling industry at some point.
