Wed 13th

Today we headed north from Canterbury to Whitstable on the coast and followed the coast through Herne Bay, Reculver, Margate, Ramsgate, Sandwich, Deal, Cover to our 2night stopover in Folkestone at the Clifton Hotel. Stopped in a few spots along the way. Went to a cliff top cafe at Capel Le Ferne for a cuppa and bite and then arrived at Folkestone around 2ish. Owen had booked this place from Aus and asked for a sea view room. It is a lovely big room with a couple of lounge chairs and bay window. The room has floors that are up and down and creak like crazy so you can't creep around the place. It is a little tired in some ways, especially the bathroom and could do with the tv being upgraded to a digital but over all it is ok. We went out for a walk along the Leas along the promenade. It was cool but was a good walk. Owen had wanted to stay at the Grand but it was just a bit pricey but it is a lovely building. Lots of nice old architecture around the area. We had dinner in the hotel restaurant which was nice and coffee in the lounge.
