We are visiting our friends in Folkstone, England, before our latest Rick Steves Best of Sicily tour. Today we took a 3 mile walk along the beautiful England Coast Path.
From Wikipedia: The England Coast Path is a proposed long-distance National Trail that will follow the coastline of England. When complete, it will be 2,795 miles (4,500 kilometres) in length.
Along the way we went by the Sandgate Castle, an artillery fort originally constructed by Henry VIII in Sandgate in Kent between 1539 and 1540. It formed part of the King's programme to protect England against invasion from France.
We will be flying to Sicily on Sunday.
Bon Voyage! I can't wait to see your pictures. The 'wish we were there' statement has taken on special meaning for us.
