Cold feet

Today was a very early morning for us. The boys decided that we start the day of with a little bit of Starbucks because we were a little tired of the "traditional English breakfast". We then started off our day with a nice two hour drive to the cliffs of Dover. It seemed like everyone was sleeping when I woke up.  I tend to sleep a lot so I never know who sleeps and who doesn't sleep. After arriving in Dover we got to a very small boutique. We spent a lil longer than I expected there. But I guess the ladies of the trip enjoyed there time there. After leaving the shop we went to the waters of the English Channel. Marge told us we had to go in, and at least get our feet wet. She said we had to experience French water. But I never understood what makes that water French and not English. Oh well we all did and Alex experienced the water to the fullest. He got his knickers wet... After leaving the ice cold water and Marge telling everyone they were a whimp for not going into the water we headed to the Dover Castle. On the way up we could see the elegant cliffs. They were quite large and very white. This a cool sight to see.  The castle was cool but we were unable to go inside. That was disappointing. We then got onto the coach to see the Canterbury Cathedral.  this was like a city within a city.  Everyone was so excited to see all the shops and didn't really want to go into the cathedral. The cathedral was very nice and it sounded like there was lots of restorations and rebuilds. This was due to all sorts of things, like humans and natural occurrences. After leaving the cathedral everyone split up again and went shopping. The guys only got one bag while the girls came back with too many to count.  This all did not surprise me. Our next adventure took us to the musical " Billy Elliot". I thought it was awesome. Even though it was about a boy who wanted to dance instead of boxing. There was lots of dancing.  Growing up with a sister who danced and a mom who owns a studio of her own I kind of enjoyed it. I would say there was very good dancing and some parts that were not so good. Even though we spent most of the day traveling I still had a blast. I can't wait to see what tomorrow has to offer.
Cheers!
