Adventures in May

The other day we had a day off and nowhere to go, so we decided to go to East Grinstead, where we do our grocery shopping and look around.  Another couple, the Bartschi's were looking for something to do, so we invited them along.  The prime meridian (marking the boundary between the Eastern and Western hemispheres runs through part of the town, so we got a taxi to take us there and we took pictures of the grounds and us standing on the marker.

We walked around the town a bit, although the weather started deteriorating and we ended up having to stop and buy a cheap umbrella.  The following sign was just something we see around quite a bit.

This week we headed for the English Channel and the white cliffs of Dover.  In the town of Dover, there is a castle (surprise).  The castle is on a hill and the pictures of the town and the coast were taken from the top of it.

Also in Dover, there is a lot of history.  It seems that every time somebody attacks England, this is where they start.  There are a lot of tunnels that have been dug into the chalk cliffs.  You can go on tours through them, but can't take pictures inside.  I have no idea what the signs mean.
