Tuesday 12th April

Decided to leave Stew's when he left for work. So we were out the door by 7.45am. Needed to get fuel and also get Jane to work. JANE is the lady who speaks on our GPS so when you read about Jane that is who we are referring to. Took a while for Jane to fire up and find the satellites as she was last used in Aus, but we also had to remember how to put her on to the UK maps. We hadn't had breakfast and decided to find somewhere along the way. Why can you never find something when you need it, or find it when you are in the wrong lane. We ended up eventually at a Sainsbury's superstore, which is a very large supermarket which also had a cafe attached. Bye this stage it was 10am and we needed a drink badly. Eventually sated we headed on towards Leeds Castle. Over here it is school holidays also and by the time we got there, I counted at least 10buses and oodles of cars with families, or grandparents and kids. Not so bad once inside the castle as a lot of them went for the maze and other areas. Beautiful castle which we missed last time so glad we found it this time. It has a large moat and beautiful grounds. They are going to put up a large screen in the grounds so people can watch the Royal Wedding on Friday 29th. From there we went to Canterbury but by this stage we were starting to feel very tired again. We parked outside the Cathedral walls and finally got a connection to book a B&B in Canterbury. We had planned to go further on but we decided to plonk there. The Canterbury Cathedral is massive. Lots of tourist too. Remember it is school hols but also lots of European bus travellers. Lovely cobbled streets in the surrounding area and we would have liked to spend more time be we had had enough. B&B was nice, walked to a pub call "Ye Old Beverley" and had a lovely meal. Crashed early and had a nice full english brekky. I have to stop having them. I already feel fatter.!!!!
