A day in port at Dover had always been part of the plan and today was that day. We were a little late getting up after lying in so it was late morning before we set out on our expedition of exploration.
Our first target was breakfast, well actually more like brunch in truth, at the cafe on the end PhD the Prince of Wales Pier. It stated to rain as we walled out but we didn't let this dampen our spirits although it did dampen our trousers!
We dried out walking up the steep hill to Dover castle were we spent the rest of the day. It's a fascinating place and just about worth the rather high ticket price.
We left just shy of closing time and staggered, in my case literally, back down the hill again. Passing the rather pleasant watering hole of Cullins Yard was deemed too foolish to be seriously contemplated and whilst we were there we thought we might as well eat
The food was excellent, the beer superb and we had fun finding the gems on the CD duke box before repairing back on board for coffee and kip
Due to the tides times and when the gate out of the dock will be open it will be a lunchtime departure and a short hop to Ramsgate tomorrow
