She was darling and had lots of cool facts to tell us, and it was just awesome to hear some of the history. We had plenty of time at Dover to walk all the way to the lighthouse, take lots of photos, and get back to the bus. It was great weather so we didn't do the castle. I was really glad because I would definitely prefer to see more of the cliffs...since the spot she suggested didn't get you to…”

Thank you Nick for sharing lots of history of not just London, but also the entire United Kingdom. The highlight was being inside/among the stones (where the public does not have access).
