MATILDA!
10. oktober 2017, England ⋅ ⛅ 15 °C
Found an amazing authentic Mexican restaurant for a pre-theater dinner: Cantina Laredo. Was soooo good as were the margaritas. Matilda had a phenom. cast, esp. the child actors. Longgg show! But very worth it. Off to bed with a quick pack-up.

Great time but 4 days of the busyness of London is ok for this trip.

Keen to travel new terrain!Les mer

Travelling on..thro' Kent to East Sussex
11. oktober 2017, England ⋅ ⛅ 15 °C
Each of us up and organized in good time. Lovely breakfast just across from hotel on Northumberland Street.

Everything flowing beautifully..car and driver arrived on time - friendly drive to Euro car. Great van which holds all our luggage easily and is comfy - our vehicle for the rest of the UK part of this trip. Rich able to manage quite well except a few bumps on back left corner LOL.

I found a brewery near Maidstone so we toddle off the M20 to stroll through meandering roads in Kent, Oast houses and all - oh no! Brewery not open!! But still got to see some great scenery AND found a fabulous country pub: Stilebridge Freehouse Pub even with a burning fire in fireplace!! In 7th heaven with fresh Kent still cider I didn't know existed - rhubarb flavour was incredible - in the Marden area -made from their own apples. And curried butternut squash soup to die for. Super friendly proprietor and staff! Just a delightful time here.

On to Rye via the backroads - made it in good time to Jeakes House - fun bedrooms, quaint and cozy - Poor Mike! who had to be our porter with our bags - up narrow winding stairs. Wind blowing - creepy!! There are ghosts about this town! No rain so far!!

Having fun with M and B - Mike's relieved me of navigator and driver assistant - Yay!!

Nice relax and cuppa - will explore this tiny town in a wee while...Les mer

Dag 9
Tea for two/toasties for the guys....
12. oktober 2017, England ⋅ ⛅ 12 °C
Stopped for clotted cream, almond scone and a pot of fresh cherry jam. Homemade yumminess!

Then with Mike behind the wheel, off to find a new craft brewery: Three Legs.
3 delightful young men making a great product. Met some fun Brits who may indeed visit us in Whistler next summer - good fun. Mike connected with the 3 fellas, esp. Ben and had great conversation about a shared passion.

And then! how to get to Camber Castle?? Eventually the way was determined and we had a delightful 4 km amble to and from the ancient ruin. Oodles of sheep bleating away and scurrying out of our path.

Back for a short feet up, trio had drinks before dinner (I recovered a bit) then to the Old Bell - Ryes oldest pub for a brew and to see if we wanted to eat there - nope - the search was on!! Scrambled up and down the streets and finally landed at The Mermaid Inn again - across from our Jeakes House. Absolutely out of this world meal - especially the 'comped' starter soup - was like sipping lightly flavoured air!

In bed by 9:30!!! Poooooped!Les mer

Boooootiful Brugge!!
13. oktober 2017, Belgia ⋅ ⛅ 18 °C
On the way to Brugge, stopped at a monastery which Mike was keen to taste their beer - Saint Sixtus Abbey. Alas it was closed however we had an amazing walk to a precious outdoor cave chapel.

Oh dear - the route into Brugge!! Construction plus!! Finally made it to our hotel however, had to drag our suitcases quite a way! Whew! Much navigating and patient driving.

Oh my how this town has grown!! We hardly recognize it however, I did find the hotel we often stayed in years ago.

Great first eve with an insanely priced “in the Square” few beer and mussels!

Many laughs with our second place and Bran the waiter and his mate - great beef stew!

Then!!! Oh my Omer beer!! Learned about it from Benny and his wife Eris sitting next to us. Another invite to Whistler! Great people - she works in social work in Ghent. Second marriage happiness. Thank goodness I didn’t have that second beer!!

Great first day in such a gorgeous town - rooms are right on canal, when I sit on the loo, I can watch the boats go by!! Hilarious!Les mer
