So, finally I'm planning a trip to Dover with my husband and three friends of us... It will be next Saturday. We'll leave from Cambridge, were we live, very soon in the morning and we'll meet and pick up our friends in a railway station near London, where they live. We hope to have a stop in Canterbury, but it seems quite unlikely as there are a lot of things to do in Dover and we suspect we won't have enough time.

The aim of the trip is to see the beautiful white cliffs of Dover! Those cliffs are about 105 metres high and they are principally made of pure, white chalk. The city of Dover, with its fantastic cliffs and its seaport, is located in Kent and just in front of France: it appears that the french coast may be seen from Dover on a clear day!

A visit to the Dover Castle, also known as the "Key to England", will be a part of our trip. The Castle represents an incredible mixture of buildings from different ages. There are, indeed, a Roman lighthouse, a Saxon church and the Norman castle itself.

I am so curious....
