    Dag 2 Kent

    21 juin 2024, Angleterre ⋅ 🌬 21 °C

    Na een goede nachtrust en een heerlijk ontbijt stapten we om 9 uur in de auto om als eerste Canterburry te bezoeken. Wat een mooie oude stad is dat. Veel oude vakmans huisjes en leuke terrasjes. En natuurlijk de Cathedral. Tjonge die was echt indrukwekkend van binnen en buiten. Ook de tuin en de gebouwen erom heen waren prachtig. We zijn ook nog even de gewone winkels in gegaan omdat ik mijn zonnebril weer eens vergeten was😩 (had zo'n mooie gekocht) gelukkig hadden ze er een primark dus voor 2.50 pond had ik er weer eentje. Rutger kwam op het idee om te gaan lunchen in Whitstable. Dit is een oud vissersplaatsje aan de zee en bekend om de oesters. Hier hebben we bij een ontzettend leuk restaurantje aan zee buiten gegrilde oesters, gefrituurde inktvisringen en een schaaltje patat op. Was echt een enig dorpje. Met volle buik gingen we naar Leeds Castle. Dit was een buitenverblijf van enkele koninginnen van de Tudors. Later gekocht door een rijke Amerikaanse die heel veel bekende mensen en acteurs te gast heeft gehad waaronder Edward en Wallis Simpson en Charlie Chaplin. Het was echt nu ingericht zoals in de jaren 20 dus een beetje Downton Abbey idee.
    En die tuin erom heen zo mooi en groot!! Niet normaal. Hierna hadden we er al 16000 stappen opzitten dus onze lunch is er mooi vanaf haha. We hebben genoten vandaag van al het moois en niet te vergeten het heerlijke weer. Wat zijn we gezegend met het weer echt een cadeautje ☀️
    Nu zitten we in de lobby van het hotel om straks wat te eten en het voetbal van Nederland te kijken. Morgen gaan we naar ons volgende adres in Bournemouth en gaan we bij Brighton, Chichester en Winchester kijken. Nieuwsgierig hoe het daar weer is. Dikke kus en tot morgen😘😘    En savoir plus

    Day 32 Rye, UK

    8 janvier 2024, Angleterre ⋅ 🌬 0 °C

    A beautiful relaxing day on our trip as we explored Rye. It is a beautiful village and just so full of character. You want to take photos at every corner and it is so quiet and peaceful- just a few locals and tourists walking about. Our accomodation is so special. Part of the deal was the breakfast and it was so good that we have had to eat little else all day. It was served in a beautiful old dining room and there were several other guests eating there too. There was cereal and fruit followed by a choice of something cooked from the extensive menu. Also toast and coffee/tea served at the table and of course all on beautiful old crockery. It was a real treat. We then headed off to explore the castle, the town gate, Mary’s Church and graveyard and the many quirky little antique and craft shops that are scattered about. The castle also known as Ypres Tower, was built in 1249 and it was fascinating and had a very basic museum set up in it, but it was still very interesting. We spent until 2 pm walking and by now surprisingly enjoying the frequent snow flurries which just added to the scenic streets. It actually wasn’t that cold, and the sun kept shining in between. Apparently it was unusual to have snow in Rye, and we joined the locals trying to take photos of it. After a lovely coffee stop we headed to the car for a trip out to Winchelsea Beach. It was 10 minutes away and with it being such a miserable afternoon it was not at all inviting- but not actually sure it would even be on the height of summer even though there were many permanent caravan homes there. We drove back to the car park and wandered up to the Standard Pub for a lovely drink with Tony and Tim ( T&T) , the local couple who had befriended us last night. They are real characters and very interesting to chat to. On returning to Jeakes House we relaxed in the lounge which is just beautiful and so warm, before heading across the road to the Mermaid Inn for dinner. The meal was two courses but preceded by a canapé and also breads. The main was a seafood platter that we shared followed by delicious desserts. The service was excellent, as was the company of two different couples that we ended up talking to. It was a lovely night and we have our fingers crossed that the sunshine promised for tomorrow’s trip to Castle Combe will eventuate.En savoir plus

    Sisslnghurst Gardens

    10 octobre 2023, Angleterre ⋅ ☁️ 18 °C

    Den deutschen Text findest du unten!

    "The night by the road next to the huge recreation ground, unlike anything in Germany, was pleasant. We should have secured Rupert better because he almost rolled out of bed due to the slope. This morning, we met a couple from Oberhausen with their daughter, traveling in a converted truck. They gave us a hand-drawn map of Cornwall's most beautiful places, which they got from a local.

    I forgot my handbag at home! When I realized it, we were near Recklinghausen, and we didn't turn back. Now I'm at the mercy of Rupert, with no cash or cards. Luckily, my passport wasn't in the bag!

    Now, we're on our way to the Sissinghurst Gardens under the bright sunshine. The afternoon in the enchanting gardens was pure soul food. We joined the National Trust, which manages all the national places of interest, so we can visit castles and gardens without paying the exorbitant entry fees and parking charges. What a fortune!

    Tomorrow, we'll continue towards Wales. Our next stop is an interesting National Trust property in Gloucestershire, Snowshill Manor and Garden. https://www.nationaltrust.org.uk/visit/gloucest… For this, we'll be up at 7 AM tomorrow."

    Die Nacht an der Straße neben dem riesigen recreation ground, der in Deutschland seinesgleichen sucht, war angenehm. Rupert hätten wir besser angebunden, weil er aus dem Bett zu rollen drohte, wegen schiefstand. Heute morgen haben wir ein Pärchen aus Oberhausen mit ihrer Tochter getroffen die in einem umgebauten LKW unterwegs sind. Sie haben uns eine handgezeichnete Karte der schönsten Orte Cornwalls überlassen, die sie von einem Einheimischen bekommen haben.
    Ich habe meine Handtasche zu Hause vergessen! Als ich es bemerkte, waren wir schon in der Nähe von Recklinghausen und sind nicht noch einmal umgekehrt. Jetzt bin ich von Ruperts Gnade abhängig, habe weder Bargeld noch Karten dabei. Zum Glück war mein Pass nicht in der Tasche!
    Jetzt sind wir bei strahlendem Sonnenschein unterwegs zu den Sissinghurst Gardens.
    Der Nachmittag im Bereich der bezaubernden Gärten war Soulfood pur. Dort sind wir dem National Trust beigetreten, der die ganzen nationalen Places of interest betreibt. Jetzt können wir Schlösser und Gärten besuchen, ohne die horrenden Eintrittspreise und Parkgebühren zahlen zu müssen. What a fortune!
    Morgen fahren wir Richtung Wales weiter. Unser Etappenziel ist ein interessantes Haus des National Trust in Gloucestershire, Snowshill Manor and Garden. https://www.nationaltrust.org.uk/visit/gloucest…
    Dafür stehen wir morgen schon um 7 Uhr auf.    En savoir plus

    Leeds Castle, Kent

    13 août 2023, Angleterre ⋅ ⛅ 21 °C

    We visited Leeds Castle in the afternoon. (FYI this is not the Leeds in West Yorkshire!)

    This was very different to other castles we've visited. Although it was first built in early 1100s, it was not presented with the medieval or Gothic feel of other ancient places. The castle was bought by a rich lady (who had inherited from 3 husbands 😯) who used her inheritances to refurbish the castle. She was half American and loved to host parties with wealthy filmstars. The castle is set in the 1930s as she had decorated it.

    The inside was OK. You couldn't go to all the areas. It felt more like a stately home than a castle. The best part was the grand piano, which I couldn't resist having a tinkle on. You lose all shame when you haven't had access to one for 3 weeks.

    The grounds however were magnificent! Better than Warwick or any of the others. It had a splendid moat, and vast areas of grassy places where you could picnic or have wedding photos, with streams, bridges and waterfalls. There was a little 'village' of barn buildings which were set up as cafes. They had a maze (which we didn't go to) and you could go on a boat trip around the moat and lakes. A gorgeous day! I did lots of walking and my back is a bit sore.    En savoir plus

    Allerlei der letzten Tage und Wasserflut

    18 juillet 2023, Angleterre ⋅ ⛅ 20 °C

    Was gibts von heute zu erzählen? Nun die Fähre haben wor geschafft und auch mit dem Linksverkehr ging es recht gut. Ca. 15 min in England unterwegs, kamen 20 L Wasser im Camper entgegen. Wie wir dann heraus fanden, hat durchs Schaukeln am Fährhafen der Früchtekorb die Dusche angelassen. Durchs stetige hoch fahren bleib das Wasser bei der Toilette, bis es dann wieder runter gieng und eine Welle von Wasser uns entgegen kam...

    A, Interessiert es jemand wie wir beim Abwasch 90% Wasser sparen? Schreibt es in die Kommentar wens euch Interessiert 😋    En savoir plus

    Rye mit seinem charmanten historischen Stadtkern. Behill-on-the-sea und Eastbourne die mit ihren Promenaden Erinnerungen an alte Zeiten des "Sehen und Gesehenwerden" wachhalten.
    Wobei die riesige Pier von Eastbourne leider mehr Schein als Sein darstellt.En savoir plus

    Mittelalterlicher Charme

    16 octobre 2024, Angleterre ⋅ 🌬 18 °C

    Nach einem sehr leckeren Frühstück fuhren wir in die kleine und beschauliche Stadt Rye.

    Einst war Rye eine Stadt der Schmuggler, Seefahrer und Fischer. Davon ist heute nicht mehr viel geblieben. Was aber geblieben ist, ist der mittelalterliche Charme, der in der Hochsaison tausende Besucher in die kleinen Kopfsteinpflasterstraßen zieht.

    Eine der meist fotografierten Straßen ist mit Sicherheit die wirklich wunderschöne "Mermaid Street" mit dem im 12. Jahrhundert erbauten "Mermaid Inn".    En savoir plus

    Rye and Hever Castle

    18 juin 2024, Angleterre ⋅ ☁️ 20 °C

    Today we went for a drive down to Rye on the southern coast to see the old sea port. Another fascinating town with a long history.

    Then we went up to Hever Castle, an old castle with a rich history of owners from Ann of Cleves to William Astor, who acquired the property in 1903 and, being a fan of Tudor history, fully restored the castle and surrounding gardens to their former glory. Quite fascinating...En savoir plus

    Day 31 Rye, UK

    7 janvier 2024, Angleterre ⋅ ⛅ 2 °C

    We were sorry to be leaving Cambridge as we really had loved it. Our morning started with breakfast at Gail’s at Cambridge Railway Station, before we farewelled Alanna as she headed back to London. We set off on what ended up being a very interesting journey to Rye, a village of 4000 people, south of London and nearly on the coast. With me navigating we were on the main highway until suddenly we weren’t! The trip took nearly an hour longer but we went through many small villages and on lots of very narrow roads and lanes, some of which had minor flooding on them. We stopped on the side of the road, but in view of Bodiam Castle, to eat out Pret A Manger sandwiches before carrying on to arrive in Rye at 2pm. Our accommodation, Jeakes House, is amazing. It is a house built in the 17th century, and sits on cobbled Mermaid Street. The cobblestones are actually small stones and the street itself is one way with no parking. Consequently we unloaded our bags before driving the car two blocks to a secure car park. On the way back we stopped for a coffee and viewed all the surrounding houses which are also very old. Our room, one of several in the house, has a four poster bed and the furnishings match the age of the house. Despite the steep staircase to the room, it is luxurious with our breakfast included. The is also a beautiful bar down stairs and an honesty box for the drinks you can help yourself too. We relaxed in our room, and I had a delicious bath before heading down the street to a very old pub for a drink. By this time it was nearly dark and the streets looked even more beautiful. We then wandered to the Standard Inn which was recommended by the Jeakes House host. It did not disappoint as not only did we have a delicious fish and chip tea but the atmosphere was lovely with an open fire, several dogs and some lovely locals to talk to. Our night finished with a walk back and time sitting chatting in the bar to another guest who was from London. We all then headed off to bed after discussing how good the breakfast is meant to be.En savoir plus

    Roter Löwe 🦁

    5 octobre 2023, Angleterre ⋅ ☁️ 18 °C

    Geschlafen haben wir sehr gut.
    In unsere Schlafhöhle liegt es sich ausgezeichnet.

    Nach unserem Morgenkaffee sind wir bereit für einen langen Fahrtag. Wir machen uns auf Richtung Eurotunnel.

    Wir haben beschlossen die Insel zu verlassen.
    Sicherlich gäbe es noch vieles zu entdecken, aber irgendwie zieht es uns wieder auf's Festland.

    Aber selbst auf dem Highway macht man in England noch kuriose Entdeckungen.

    Nach ca. 350 km die wir heute zurückgelegt haben, stehen wir wieder hinter einem Pub.
    Zum Abschied lassen wir uns noch einmal bekochen.

    Im Hinterhof des Red Lion werden wir unsere letzte Nacht in Großbritannien verbringen. Ein bisschen Wehmut macht sich schon bemerkbar🥺

    Morgen geht es wieder mit dem Zug unterm Meer zurück aufs Festland.

    Mal sehen wohin uns der Wind als nächstes weht 💨    En savoir plus
