Car Ferry Dock at Dover

After touring the Canterbury Cathedral and the ruins of the Augustinian Abbey, we drove on to Dover in clear sunshine through green fields. We got there about 4PM and immediately engaged a room in a bed-and-breakfast just across the street from the ferry. It was about the last room on the whole street, so they go early.

We walked up a pathway up some of the limestone cliffs overlooking the harbor. We got a good view of the car ferry loading area which we would traverse tomorrow. May 27, 1967

Cars and Caravans Enter Ferry

We watched the process of loading the car ferry as a preview to what we would do the next morning. The little camping trailers, called "caravans" were the dominant means of camping for the British and many Europeans as well. We saw them everywhere.
