Daycation Dungeness

Today we decided to make the short trip along the coast from Hythe to Dungeness.

We thought about going earlier than our normal "afternoon" departure so that we could get lunch at the Dungeness Fish Hut.

In the end we set off just before noon. The van needed a little work to get us ready to roll. All the locks came off, the silver shield off the windscreen, and Reggie's stuff loaded. He needs his bed to lie on.

We were lucky to get a parking space outside the light railway station. I parked as near the end as possible to make sure there was room for others to park.

From here we walked back to the Hut.  For a chilly Saturday it was quite busy.

I liked the idea of scallops but in the end opted for locally caught fish on a roll. It came with salad and homemade tartare sauce. Very nice. 

We shared a table with a couple with a spaniel. They said they are going to the NEC to the Caravan and Motorhome Show.

Once finished we walked back on the road to the van. With a train coming along the loop we wanted to be in with Reggie before it booted. Not quite! We were just feet away when it sounded off.

I took the reusable cups into the station cafe and got some coffees. 

Then we drove home. With rain on the way we wanted to get home as Claire had washing in the garden!!

Another short trip.

Once home I started to plan our next Staycation.
