The white cliffs of Dover


The white cliffs of Dover

On Tuesday the 29th of May the class took a train to Dover. Dover faces the strait of Dover and France. In fact, on a clear day it is possible to see the shores of France. What Dover is most famous for is it's White Cliffs. These cliffs are made of chalk, or pure white lime. The white against the blue creates a striking profile against the ocean. In Dover we all had Dover Rock, a type of candy whose taste resembles a candy cane. It is well known because it's name, Dover Rock, is printed on the candy and at any point when you bite it you can read its name.

We all enjoyed sitting on the rocky beach and watching the ocean. Some of us even took off our shoes and dipped our feet in the ocean. It was a great time.
