Xmas in Rochester

Well, Yesterday I went to Leeds Castle and Rochester for the day. Leeds is known to be one of the most beautiful castles in the world, alongside Versailles and others.

The most interesting thing about Leeds had to be the maze. I didn't really get lost in it though. It was a bit too small. That and the fact that there is a gigantic mound thing in the centre. We eventually made it to the centre, where there is not only a mound, but a nice big underground waterfall and mermaids.

Rochester is where all the Xmas parties are at. Charles Dickens wrote Great Expectations and other books based on places in Rochester. I took a tour around the city centre where we got to hear a bunch about all of these characters. I guess I have to read some of his books now.

Myself and some of the girls next door went got some delicious mulled wine, and ended up just walking down the crowded high street. The city had a bunch of people dressed up as Dickensian characters, with a nice big parade at around 4:45. We had to leave shortly after the parade, but were able to sing some carols at the end.

All in all, the trip was good. Nothing terribly exciting happened though. It was still £32 well spent.

Cheers

Paul

It's quite obvious. Everyone is blinded by my amazing good looks.

(Insert generic comment on how I am not drunk)

Paul, the only thing about you that's blinding is your idiocy.




And drunkeness.
