maderrDover was fun yesterday, we wandered all around the castle making snarky comments but honestly enjoying everything except the spiral staircase. I feel sorry for the poor bastards that had to climb those things before someone put in "ye olde handrail."
Henry the VIII was quite the biznatch, I always forget how much fun he is. Another really cool part was the Secret Tunnels where the Brits hid away in miscellaneous wars. We were all disappointed we weren't able to go down to Dumpy, the deepest level. They said it's unsafe as there's no direct route outside. Weaklings.
Then Gomes said Dover looked like Hyrule Castle and so forever ruined the image of Dover for me. Zelda jokes were while we hiked up yet another blasted hill.
We missed the last bus out of the place, so we wound up having to walk all the way down the fucking hill until we could catch a taxi. Jeezus, we did a lot of walking. And it's only begun - just wait until we get to Scotland. My legs already hate me.
We had dinner with a couple of Todd's friends at a Vietnamese restaurant, then came back and slept until seven - then had some tea (and Todd his chocolate) and proceeded to go back to sleep until about 1:30 or so. Now we're packing up to leave the Windy City of Cantebury and going back to dreary London. This country is f'ing miserable weather wise, I think I'd go nuts if i had to spend my entire life here.
