The Whitecliffs of Dover (Pre-Cliffs)

The long absence has been due to dissertation duties and relocating to London.

Ying & I decided to take a short trip to Dover, Kent to off-load our collective study stress before starting his job. When we arrived, we walked around Dover town itself for a bit before passing out in the B & B. We were terribly exhausted and sleeping was a much understood necessity. :D 

 The next day, we finished our walk around the town and passed this beautiful church. You can see the castle from many points in the town.

We walked around and decided to have lunch at Castle Fish & Chips on Castle Hill Road.

 After which, we saw a seagull window-shopping on the quiet Flying Horse Lane.

 The church has a sundial at the side of its walls. I don't think I managed to snap a shot of it. Another church laid just around the corner. There were three old churches within walking distance, one of which was bombed by the Germans in World War II. We visited it on our last day there.

 I managed to capture the beautiful sunlight on the church lawn.

 We walked from the Market Square towards the ports. Beautiful buildings were scattered along the way. Dover is really quite interesting. You turn a corner, you see run down slummish buildings and noisy drunks. Another corner, you see majestic castles and yet another corner you see silent and stately white columns. You walk for a bit and you see the cliffs facing a busy port. Curiouser and curiouser.

 Spot the contrast of the castle and apartments facing the sea behind me. 

The cliffs will be in the next post.
