Road Trip
Last bank holiday weekend, I took a drive to Kent County with Ezro & Chip. I have never been to this beautiful part of England: Kent is known to be one of the "Gardens of England" located on the South East of England.
We set out in the morning and took the road along the coast and stopped over to enjoy the seaside view and fresh sea breeze along Herne Bay and Margate. Herne Bay was a pebble beach and popular for various water sports activities....it was cool to see those jet skis in action..something I would love to try!
Margate had a sandy beach which I love....the beach was filled with families and kids having fun making sandcastles and just chilling on the beach.
We also spotted the Vespa scooter club gang...it's amazing to see the people riding on these scooters range from the young and the old and the scooters came in various designs and modifications.. I love Vespa cuz it reminds me of my trip to Italy!
It's fun to see these motoring groups making day weekend trips riding up and down the country..I hope to join the MINI motoring club when I go home ..it'll be fun!!
We then drove down to Canterbury. The main town is located in a four cornered monument wall. Within the monument is a pedestrianised shopping centre with its pebble-stoned roads and a mix between the traditional Tudor buildings and the modern shop buildings.
Canterbury Cathedral is not as magnificient as the cathedrals we see in mainland Europe but it still has that English charm to it. The cathedral held their weekly Sunday service so we could hear the angelic voices of the boys choir. We walked around the cathedral and enjoyed the ambiance of the place.
It was a good day trip which ended with a BBQ back in London. Next road trip will be in the next May bank holiday weekend driving up to Lake District and Edinburgh. I haven't been back to Scotland for nearly five years now so going up there will hopefully bring back fond memories. :)
