We arrived safely in England early Sunday morning (or late Saturday night for us). We were really tired but the beautiful scenery held our attention for the drive to David and Joan's. Everything is super green and the roads are really narrow, sometimes like tunnels. Joan made us breakfast before we hit our beds for a quick nap.
We woke up to a wonderful Sunday dinner and then headed out to watch their grand daughter in her horse jumping competition. It was on someone's private estate and once again the views were amazing. We have pictures but no hardware to connect the camera, so you'll have to wait for those.
Monday we slept in a bit - it's hard to get up at what feels like 3 in the morning! Then David and Joan dropped us off in Tunbridge Wells and we had 5 hours to shop til we dropped! They have completely different stores here and it was really exciting. I might have bought a few articles of clothing! We must have walked almost 10 kilometers up and down hills and the mall a few times.
Today we've hit up the local library for the internet (it is so weird with no cellphone and no computer!) to make some home contact and then we're hopefully going to the sea side with our lovely hosts. Tomorrow we'll likely stick around town because Thursday morning will be extremely early to catch our train to Paris!
We'll try to find a cafe with internet so we can post pictures from there.
Til next time!
Awesome! Glad you guys are enjoying your trip... sounds like fun already!
