May 28 - Brugges
Brugges is a tourist friendy medieval town that we've visited before. It's got canals, cathedrals and lots of bricks. Definitely worth the trip.
Church of Our Lady
Rose Hat Quay
Shopping street
Belfry Tower
Saint Salvator's Cathedral
Kasteel de la Faille
Minnewater, Lover's Lake
Barge Bridge
May 29 - DoverThe famous cliffs of Dover
We walked about town after a short shuttle ride into town.
Dover Castle
Street art featuring three locals. Ian Fleming, James Bond author, is on the right
White Horse Inn and the remains of St. James Church
St. Mary's Church
A visit to the "English Riviera" is on tap for today. But it looked to me like the town has seen better days. The marina was filled with yachts and Saint John the Apostle looked fine.
Likewise local resident Agatha Christie and her terrier Peter.
Mallock Clock Tower
The shopping street is where the decline shows. Empty store fronts with the remaining stores generally selling discount or closeout specials. There were a number of restaurants, but we didn't find cottage pie.
After we returned to the ship the Red Arrows -- the British aerial demonstration team -- performed over the harbor. Not as good as the Blue Angels, but exciting, and noisy, nonetheless.
