We are back in Dover for a short period. Some thoughts on the journey so far. It is worth going that extra mile. Making the effort to talk to people and show interest in what they are doing or have to say. To use local shops where they want to serve you, not just take your money. If you only want one of something, that’s fine. The rewards far outweigh the effort. It is easy to travel along the well trodden tourist routes and if that is what you want, great. However, if you get off these corridors, out of your box and go walk about there are hidden treasures every where, and people to share them with you, if you show them respect. When you stop, sit down and take in your surroundings you may be surprised how much more you see, feel and hear.
So, leave nothing but footprints and take nothing but memories. Recharge your battery and discharge the one in your digital camera.

Hello Janet and Keith,
Ever so nice to hear from you the other day on the phone. Things were a bit disjointed as our 16 month old granddaughter was here and demanding attention. Anyway, now we’re ‘connected’ again on your blog and we look forward to reading more about your adventures. Just now reading all about your travels to date. What a life, heh? Cheers and all the best!
Jennifer and Tony
