Rochester

Chris and Mel took us out to a very original town called Rochester.
Charles Dickens came from here! From all accounts he had a very tough upbringing until he made it big with his writing. Then he moved back to his hometown.

The Cathedral is amazing! Really old!



The Castle is also incredible - although parts were closed to visitors. We were able to check out the inside though and had a nice chat to the ladies in the shop - we bought a book about the castle - they were very kind to us.



We had a forgettable meal in one of the cafes but had great fun walking down the main street looking in all the shop windows. This place is dripping with history!
