Tales from Canterbury

So the weekend after York, Cameron and I went to Canterbury, where the Archbishop is and where Chaucer based his play on, although it doesn't happen so much in Canterbury as on the way TO Canterbury, haha.
It's a nice little town, although compared to how beautiful York is, it's not as amazing. But it's still a pretty town. It has it's wall, much smaller overall. I wouldn't spend more than a day there, you run out of things to do. We saw the wall, and of course the Cathedral. So far, it's my favorite in England. SOOOO imposing. I liked it a lot. We also visited two other churches: one were the rmains of an old abbey, although it was closed (the access to the field) so we snuck in through an entrance to the university and pretended to be students so we could se the ruins. The other church happens to be the oldest in England, tiny little thing, but still cool to see the early foundations and different additions to it throughout time.
We walked around town, looked for Chaucer but of course couldn't find him. Had tea at a cute tea house that inspired Dicken's writtings, and saw the remains of a Noramn Castle. That I liked a lot, different and massive.
Sunday was spend in Cambridge enjoying the town. Having seen by now many English towns I still like Cambridge best. It's just so cozy and yet active and still soo beautiful and not run down at all. Canterbury was not looking so good, the people there didn't seem to care. A lot like italy, a lot of grafiti and carelessness for the history and architecture.
