White Cliffs of Dover - 8km hike
Rick and I have just returned from two weeks off...away from the sand and heat! We had planned a 12-day Baltic Sea cruise with our friends Dave and Paula from Canada. The cruise departed Dover England on July 28th. We went a couple of days early and stayed in Dover. We hiked the White Cliffs trail and then visited the Dover Castle, Dover museum and enjoyed the green grass, flowers and all the colour! The intinerary included, Warnemunde Germany / Tallin Estonia / St. Petersburg Russia / Helsinki Finland / Stockholm Sweden and Copenhagen Denmark. We had two full days in St. Petersburg and enjoyed several excursions. The cruise was magnificent. We can understand how people get hooked. Following the cruise, Rick and I went by ferry to Calais France. We rented a car and drove to Normandy, stopping at the Juno Beach Canadian War Museum and then back to Dieppe. We stopped at three Canadian war cementeries. Unfortunately, there wasn't enough time to get to Vimy - next time.
We're back in the heat and humidity and pretty much locked indoors when possible. Only a few more weeks of this and we will be back to reasonable temperatures - low 40's.

Hi Guys,
I was wondering what happened to you two, as I hadn't seen an entry in your blog for quite a while. I'm so very glad that you've decided to take us along with you on your vacation. Awesome photos! Awesome blog!
All is well with me out here in Alberta. I was home last May and had a nice time visiting with everybody again. I stopped in and saw John, Delice, along with Ed and family. Everybody was doing well. I hope to get back to Ontario sometime next month for another two week visit.
As I'm at work right now, I really can't stay long, but I did want to pop-in, say hello, and to say how much I enjoy viewing your blog.
Happy trails, and I'll write again soon.
Lots of love,
George.
