Dover

Last week Nate and I went to Dover. We took a train through the countryside and went to the castle and the pier. It was really cold but it is a beautiful and sleepy little town. We pretty much had the castle to ourselves. Our favorite part by far was the Secret Wartime Tunnels. We went on a tour and saw all the inner workings of the the War Machine. We were a little disappointed that we weren't alowed to go in the "Dumpy" level that was reconstructed to be a backup head quarters for the government during the Cold War but it is not open to the public. I think they still have classified military goingson there but who knows. The castle is old and pretty but quite touristly like the Tower of London. The bay was really pretty and we walked all the way out to get a good look at the White Cliffs of Dover.

This is a view from the top of the castle. The whole place was quiet and really pretty.
Here is Nate on the hill overlooking the bay. It was kind of foggy, but hey, that's Britian for you.
Here's me on the bridge leading up to Dover castle. It goes over this huge ravine that leads out to the Channel.
I love this picture with the sun coming through the clouds. It really was a cool sight.
This is a view from the Prince Charles Pier. These are the White Cliffs and you can see the balcony of the secret Wartime Tunnels.
