Rare erewhon Posted June 4, 2023 #76 Share Posted June 4, 2023 Thanks for the Fleet locations and the Daily reports. Lovely to see all the photos of Dover, Canterbury and surrounding area. We lived in Kent for a year, so the photos bring back many happy memories, thank you all. It's a colder day, raining. 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is on the fifth day of the fifth month on the Chinese Lunar Calendar. Thus it varies every year from sometime in May to sometime in June. Last year it was on 3 June. This year it will be on 22 June and next year (2024) on 10 June. I looked it up because when I asked my DW if she knew today was Dragon Boats Festival day she said "No, it is not." When I was stationed on Taiwan we enjoyed this time of the year because there were so many Chinese and American holidays and we got to celebrate all of them. Ray Thank you! That explains why DD in Taiwan didn’t mention Dragon Boat Festival. It also means I still have time to make Zongzi before the actual day. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first time we took a double decker bus to the White Cliffs of Dover visitor center and began our hike along the trails there. Here is our view though from the ship before we left it that morning. On the path you could see where the Prinsendam was docked (right) and over to Dover Castle. We reached a photo spot where people were taking photos so of course did the same. There were horses in the area. Lots more trail to go. The farther you went the sparser the trail became At the end of the trail was the Victorian style lighthouse which of course had to have scaffolding around it to spoil the view. Knowing the schedule the bus had for returns we decided we'd better leave and hustle if we were going to make the next hourly ride. We could see the bus enter the parking lot from a quarter mile away, so broke into a jog and ran back just in time to jump onboard before the driver left. Whew! Thankfully we were five years younger then! Nevertheless we enjoyed that visit to Dover. I think I'll have breakfast now and take a look later for some photos from our 2019 visit when we stayed in town instead of walking the trails of the White Cliffs. Excellent photos Sandi. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
