We're very fortunate to have just come back from a fortnight's cruise to the far north of Norway aboard Ryndam, and what a fantastic time we had. Hope to go again next year. One observation I did make a mental note of was just how much more Dover has to offer as a port of call than quite a few of the places we visited: compared to Honningsvag and Hammerfest to name but two, Dover is a fantastic place to visit. I was surprised just how many Americans and Australians knew so little or nothing about the castle or town. We really do need to stop thinking we have nothing to offer our visitors!
That's not to say we can compete with the likes of Geiranger (a UNESCO World Heritage site), Tromso or Bergen ( both absolutely fantastic but shockingly expensive), but I'm very proud of our town and port and spent ages telling strangers not to go to Canterbury or Leeds Castle (the organised trips) at the expense of what we have.
