Entering the ferry through Calais 8 dock. The sea was very smooth, the sun was shining. A very good morning for the crossing.
The "white" Dover cliffs. Very very beautiful, specially with this bright sun!
The amazing felling of driving in the left! :-D
At the end of the first day driving this way, my left side of the brain hurted! :-)
I love the way your roundabouts are designed. Very logical. Before entering the roundabout the driver as indications to select the more adequate lane... Simple, but we don't have this here.. And i don't remember seeing this in other countries.
Also something i loved is that you have text signs that some how "educate" drivers by explaining them why this or that is happening. One i still remember is a yellow plate hanged in new motorways electronic traffic signs saying: "This sign is not in use". This may seem very unnecessary but it reveals the care for information. I loved it!
Rye.. Beautiful Rye.. We all fell in love for this small but so typical village. Someone in the forum said Rye is very English, and he was right. It is so classic, well preserved and, like most places we visited in England, very organized.
We all admired the equilibrium in your landscape and the buildings are all (99%) made from those "orange" bricks. So beautiful type of construction material. To you this may seem boring but believe me it's much better than in Portugal where houses are made at each one's taste for shapes or colors. This is another sign of respect you have for the life in community.
Very nice..
In here we call this bricks "tijolo burro", that translated is "donkey brick".. :-)I'm sure you have a more appropriated name for them!
Your's ancestors seem to be very small! :-)
The Old Bell, a famous pub in Rye.
A very cute guard!
Bodiam Castle.
In England almost everything as to be payed for visiting. It's bad for our budget but it's the logical thing to do... Just look at this well preserved castle.
Steyning - Nothing special, but i had to capture this:
Them we went to sleep in Southampton for, maybe, the greatest day of all in the island.
