A relaxing long weekend spent with our good friends Jane &
David, in a wonderful house!
|
|
We travelled by train. Geoff was
very pleased to see the Orient Express in Whitstable when we arrived.

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
On the first evening, we went to the Crab & Winkle Restaurant,
above the fish market, for a meal.

We decided to do a long walk to
Herne Bay and catch a bus back |

Herne Bay |
|
|
After having a drink at a pub in Herne Bay, we caught the bus
back to Whitstable. It was a hot day, so we were forced to stop
for ice cream when we got back. We also bought cake for afternoon
tea later, as if we hadn't had enough to eat!
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
That evening, we had an excellent
meal in the restaurant at the Whitstable Oyster Fishery Company |
|
|
|
|
Sunset during our meal. Wonderful! |

While we were out, William got up
to mischief! |

|
A larger than expected lunch at
the Pearson's Arms before it was time to go home. |
|
|
We loved our stay in Whitstable.
Thank you to Jane and David for inviting us to share their house
and their lovely company. |
