This
time we drove past the castle and headed to the actual cliffs. We got
Hollywood parking and headed out, up, up, up. Cristian has been there
dozens of times and is a seasoned hiker. He led us over hill and dale
and down a really steep part. It was like a switchback road only
super narrow and all chalky with white walls to one side and the sea
to the other. We ended up in a war bunker thing from WWII with a
wonderful view of France and all the ferries (not fairies).
The brave
ones then ventured down this skinny metal ladder to the actual
seashore. I declined to participate but took a cool video instead.
What goes up must come down or vice versa so up the hill we went. It
left everyone a little breathless. Some of us then continued on to
the lighthouse. It seemed closer than it actually was. There, Emma
and I had a delightful conversation with a woman who lives near Rye
and was waiting with her Staffordshire/Ridgeback cross. Emma finally
got her puppy fix. The walk back to the carpark is 2 miles and should
take 45 minutes. We did more of a power walk and made it in 30. The
trails were a bit more populated by then and I was glad we had set out
so early. I also noticed it was rather hard to get people to greet
you as you passed on the path.
When we got back to the Old Barn, we promptly headed out to the Wheel
Inn and this time Sarah and Josh came along!!
We had a proper Sunday
pub lunch. There was a band playing outside and it really added to
the ambience.
We were home in time to watch the end of the Tour de France and see
Spain win yet another championship. The rest of the day was a bit
more mellow and I think was appreciated by all.
I think it may be
time for a beer...

It is Haida. He had a guy do it for him here a few weeks ago. The guy was reluctant but in the end loved it and wants to add it to his portfolio. We leave for Paris tomorrow at 7. Weather isn't supposed to be great but that could all change. Hopefully I have wifi in the hotel and can keep up the blog!
Have fun in gay Paris!!
