On Wednesday during some chill time, my sister and I decided to book a spontaneous trip to somewhere in the UK. We researched lots of possibilities - Edinborough, Dublin, Cambridge, Cornwall, and finally decided upon Canterbury. I had never heard of the destination before, but it was cheap compared to our other options and only two hours out of London via train.
Upon arrival we were instantly happy with our choice. Canterbury is a beautiful little town with a bustling main street and breathtaking scenery. We stopped for a cup of tea at Kitch - a quaint little cafe serving healthy food and an all-day breakfast.
We spent our second day exploring all of the streets and cobblestone alleyways. Canterbury is made up of cute Tudor style buildings and a stunning cathedral. It also has a modern shopping mall with the usual large chain stores.
In the afternoon we soaked up the sunshine by having a picnic in the Westdale Gardens.
Our little country getaway reminded me that it is important not too get too caught up in London while visiting the UK. Although London is great and I enjoyed my time there, it is relaxing to leave behind the hustle and bustle of the tube and busy streets. There is so much more to see!
