Rochester with the Dickies

We had a great excursion with the Dickies to Rochester. It is a little city towards the east coast with a castle and a cathedral. It is not on the tourist circuit though and it had a fun high street and not many people. The Castle was right on the river. It was mostly a ruin that you could climb around the inside and up the towers.


It was a small cathedral, but the church volunteers loved having visitors and told us all about the church. It had some norman architecture that was really beautiful.

We enjoyed watching Dickie struggle with his camera all day. Of course he got some great pics.

Everyone got very silly on the train ride home and because this was the real Guy Fawkes Day we saw some bon fires and fireworks from the train on the way home.
