Journey: Norwich – Colchester – Canterbury
We have finally left Norwich! I woke at 5:30am and took Jasper for a final walk around Whitlingham, which was as beautiful as ever. We then travelled separately to Colchester to drop off the car and say goodbye to Deborah Davies, Delilah and Colin. Perk of motorvan driving…my bladder has realised it can request toilet stops at anytime…no more hiding behind the car 😂
Had a scrumptious pub lunch and Delilah walked Mabel…they go about the same pace.
Markles opted to drive this afternoon…he may have ignored the sat nav and ended up in country lines, met a 3 tonne limit road which resulted in a 3 point turn and more country lane diversions but we won’t dwell on that 😂He did really well, and got us to Canterbury Park and Ride for our first night. Dogs were really brave on their longest drive, preferring to cuddle together.
Organised as ever we arrived late in Canterbury and had missed the last bus into town, so walked the half hour in for a nice potter about and a glimpse of the cathedral, walls, lots of very old buildings and their obsession with Domino’s pizza (6 delivery cars past us in less that 5 minutes!).
The dogs are knackered snoozing on the bed, and we are excitedly practicing our French for tomorrow…
Today’s wisdom: if you download apps open them to download the maps while you have free WiFi or you can’t use them
