Day 196 - Gravesend, Kent, England
Day 196 – 21st December 2005 GMT Total Miles 44798
Woke up at 5:30am could not sleep, at 10am Jill and I drove into Gravesend town centre in the morning to complete our Christmas shopping. Now Gravesend is famous as Pocahontas the American Indian Princess is buried here, You have probably heard of her from the Disney Film. She got very sick whilst on her ship and it docked at Gravesend and this is where she died. So there is a statue and memorial to her outside St.George’s church which is where she is buried. Anyway town was not actually as busy as I thought, after 2 hours we had bought everything we needed and a new modem for my parents computer. We got back home and started to wrap up presents and then my Aunt and her Grand Daughter Tierney turned up. Now Tierney is 5 years old and spent the whole day happily singing to us all we sat and all chatted and distributed presents. We had a good meal and then Jill and I collapsed.
