Well...camera happy I got in Canterbury. I picked this place pretty much by getting a UK map out and pointing out somewhere that could be reached in a day from London. I didn't really want another town or city where it's church was the main attraction and half way through the train journey Amanda nicely pointed out the fact that we are headed to Canterbury where the main attraction is the Canterbury Cathedral....oops!

After struggles with the snooze button we finally got up wrapped ourselves in warm clothes and tucked the monopoly board under our arm, with the mission to visit every street on it...stations included!
