Prioritized Daily Task 

Dover, United Kingdom

We crossed a time zone and lost an hour of sleep.

We slept in, had prayer, got ready, and met everyone

Debbie and I got ready for the day, had prayer, and met the family at the Windjammer Buffet for breakfast.  Elain, Lori Lynn, and Eric are still sleeping.  We caught a city bus to Dover town center, to the White Cliffs, and to Dover Castle.  Adult tickets cost 35 pounds, and children cost was 22 pounds.  This was by far the best tour of any castle I have ever been on.  We toured the tunnels that were dug through sandstone, in, around, and under the castle that runs 4 miles, that building was started when England and France were at war and continued through WWII.   We walked up to the castle and toured the fortress.  As we were leaving, I took a picture of a red postal drop.  Eric met us before we left and gave the girls something to make soap bubbles  Eric stayed at the castle and did not ride back with us.  When we got to the ship, the girls were hungry and we got a snack to hold us over until dinner at 7 pm.  I started packing.  Debbie took some pictures.  We have to get off the ship at or before 8 am tomorrow, Sunday, June 23rd.  Debbie got back and packed most of her things.  We had dinner in the fine dining restaurant our family ate at each night.  I had lamb with mint jelly.  We took pictures with our waters, Ryan and Randy, and we gave them a nice group tip.  Later when got back to our cabin, Debbie and I prayer before doing some more packing and going to bed.  We move through a time zone going from Dover to Amsterdam tonight, and have to move our clocks ahead one hour.
