Well today is the first day back in England and starting up from Harwich. I think I’ve been through this port many time either on my way to Denmark or nowadays to or from Holland. So a lot of today’s route I am familiar with post it ups and its downs.
Needless to say along the way will be places I would remember quite well such as this 12th century Church there is also the Home of Commonwealth War Graves not that I could find or identify any.
After the cleanliness, modern infrastructure and beautiful bike paths and roads of the continent, England is always a bit of a shock. It does take the award for potholes and bad road surfaces, without any other contender close to it. As for bike paths, don’t even ask as they do not exist. There is a general air of having let things go. Perhaps it is just this part of the country.
There are still some picture perfect places that one comes across but they tend to be the exception.
