Today we were on a full day tour of the Dover countryside. The tour was provided by White Cliffs GeoTours and arranged by Mike Martin.
The day started cool but sunny. Our first stop was at Samphire Hoe, a man made nature reserve formed from the construction of the Channel Tunnel at the foot of the cliffs.
Mike and Pam Martin became our "buddies" on this cruise....
I never even knew there were cliffs on the west side of Dover. They are magnificent!
