With wind whipping our hair we braved the chalky coastline of Dover. Since there was a dip in the terrain it was literally 'uphill both ways.'  We have hiked higher and farther – hello Lake District? This one ended up kicking us in the pants though.  Maybe it was the sandals.  Note to self, always bring the hiking shoes because you always need them.  

We headed out at the end of a rainy day and the clouds gradually cleared by the time we reached the lighthouse a few miles out. The water and sky deepened in color with every step. Truly breathtaking by the time we got back.
