Canter Around Canterbury

Moving day again, this time we're heading for the Park and Ride just outside Canterbury, they have a dedicated Motorhome parking area where you can stay overnight, that's the plan, until we get there,. The park and ride is great, and so is the Motorhome parking, if you like being packed in like a sardine. The hottest day of the year, yes that is 34 on me dashboard thermostat, and they really could do with a bit of space to sit outside, or even just open the window, so they decided to look up a campsite nearby, and go there instead, spaces available, booked, job done so off they pop to Canterbury, all day parking and return journey for 2 all for £4 , a bargain,
Canterbury is a mix of very old, old, and quite new buildings with a big shopping arcade full of your normal big names and streets full of quirky old beamed independent shops..
Obviously, you've got to do the cathedral, quite a bit of money, but worth it. Another building that defies all sense of how it was achieved without today's power tools and mechanical help..
After a good time spent in the cooler temperature of the cathedral, it was back outside in the blazing heat, well at least for the couple of minutes it took to cross through square to the nearest pub The Buttermarket oldest historic pub in Canterbury but the prices are far from historic! What more could you ask for two pints of Adnams beer, crisps, and Wimbledon on the TV all for £16.00.
A stroll around the town with a stop in the Primark, for him, not her and it's back to me and on to our overnight stay just outside the town, apparently tomorrow it's going to be cooler, thank the lord for that, me bonse is burning.Read more
