London Day Trip: Cycling in Canterbury, Whitstable and Herne Bay
Remember all those amazing travel resolutions I made back in January? So thus cycling trip was an effort at following through on those. A colleague told me how he went cycling in Kent for a day. It sounded really fun so I made him send me his itinerary so we could take a cycling trip…
