It was a beautiful night.  Sitting at

the outside bar enjoying the night and having a couple of cold ones.  Struck up a conversation with this wonderful English couple who live in Dover and come to the shore for a drink.  Three hours later we parted ways.  Great night.

We are booked at the Premier Inn North Terminal.  Hope it’s ok.  Only one night so I will risk it. Lol

We stayed at Premier Inn, wonderful, close (relatively) to Dover Castle and good buffet breakfast.  Front desk very helpful with getting taxis to the port.
