i had heard great things about this beautiful city so we decided to check it out... i absolutely love the cities that are circled by city walls (intact or not) and this one was another great one... we visited the Pilgrims Hospital that has been around for hundreds of years and is still used to house those less fortunate.. quiant little stone building with chapel and apartments.. we didn't bother with the cathedral, we had all seen our fair share of churches and  cathedrals that it wasn't worth the 7£ entry... saw it from the outside and that was good enough for us... it ended up being a gorgeous day (considering it is in fact winter in britain) and we walked through some gardens and along the river... theres a river boat tour that you can take but unfortunately it doesn't run in the winter so we missed out.. afterwards we frequented a series of pubs.. outside of simple simons we met this drunk bloke that was the spitting image of the scottish comedian Billy Connolly and it was halarious... good times... all in all Canterbury was great, i have to admit that we saw more of the pubs than we did the historical sites but thats ok...
