Halifax to Dover to Paris

We made it, after a sleepless night on the plqne to London, a long line for passport verification at Heathrow and a couple of trains we arrived in Dover, for our first night: We arrived around 1:30, had a nap and went to see Dover castle. The castle has a long history dating back to Roman times. It was a favoured home of Henry the VIII, and features a Roman Lighthouse and Norman Church. It was very impressive, we had to walk 20mins up a steep hill to get there.

The ride over to Calais was alright, Calais seened deserted. Once we arrived in Paris on the train we had some fun trying to get around got on the wrong train switched qnd eventuqlly made it. Would type more but am running out of time. Write again soon.

Glad to see the first European post. I like the pics too. Have a great time in France. If I've looked at your map properly, you should be headed for the wine country early next week.

Enjoy the tours,
Chad
