so today lindsey and i went to dover (my second time) and we went to the castle. first, however, i will describe the journey to dover. we got to the canterbury bus station and waited in line to board the bus to dover. however, the bus driver of the bus we wanted told us to get off his bus and get on the bus next to his. we do this, and the second bus driver practically yelled at all of us "just get on! keep going, come on! move it!" so we didn't even buy a ticket, we boarded, and we found a seat. except once the bus started up, it began to shake an insane amount and make a horrible racket. so lindsey and i decided to seek shelter on the second level, which wasn't much better. oh yea, and did i mention that we thought the bus was going to explode? not fun.

so then we got to dover, and went to the charlie chaplin restaurant where sandwiches are super cheap! yay!! but not really, since lindsey had to send back her first sandwich cause it was nasty chicken/raisin/mustard, and then they gave her a "toasted cheese sandwich on baguette" which turned out to be two pieces of plain white bread (not toasted) with shredded cheese and butter. that's it. my tuna sandwich wasn't too good either, but after lindsey's experience, i wasn't going to complain!

after that experience, we took a cab up to the castle and went on a tour through the war tunnels that housed soldiers and army, navy, and airforce personnel during wwii. interesting stuff! after trekking up to the castle in the freezing cold, we headed back down the hill and into town and caught the bus back to canterbury. what a day!

I'm still convinced the driver planted tiny bombs inside of our brains. Thats the only possible way he would let us get on for free
