White Cliffs of Dover and Amsterdam-Day 4

Our Tour Director gave us lots of information as we drove from London to Dover in our bus.
  It was fun to see the countryside.  We had a short channel crossing  to Calais, France and got a wonderful view of the White Cliffs of Dover.  The driver asked us if any of us knew the song.  I, of course, did!!


"There'll be blue birds over, the white cliffs of Dover, tomorrow, just you wait and see.
There'll be love and laughter and peace ever after, tomorrow, when the world is free.

And Johnny will go to sleep in his own little bed again.
 (can't remember the next line)
There'll be blue birds over the White Cliffs of Dover, tomorrow, just you wait and see."

It was a World War II song, but we did not really understand what the White Cliffs of Dover were.
 
 
 
Denice was looking for money, we both wanted water and only had enough money for one bottle.  We were really ditzy about the money thing but we managed somehow.  Though I saw a few guys raise their eyebrows a few times as we had to figure things out where to get money.

We drove through Belgian countryside on the way to Amsterdam.

That night we saw Amsterdam and stayed at the Hotel Eden.  The driver drove us around Amsterdam and showed us some interesting sites and then we were able to walk around some, too.  Very interesting people there!
