Rochester








Rochester castle is just a short bus ride from the first place we stayed, will's nans house in Hoo. We explored the town and found this just behind the main street. It was built in the 1200's, so on the first day of our trip to europe, i saw something older by hundreds of years than any buildings back home. Apparantly this is a small castle, compared to some of the others around.

We went looking for another castle called leeds castle today, which is supposed to be one of the most impressive, as we are now staying with will's auntie Sue in maidstone. We walked for about 2 hours before we found it, and by the time we did, the gates were closed. We were thinking about going back, but admission is 18 pounds, and with plenty of free medievil structures around the countryside to explore, we've decided it's not worth it.
