We went on a road trip in Essex, but added Kent too.
We created a holiday out of John’s desire to revisit the area for nostalgic reasons. We started in Colchester and toured Essex including Maldon, Chelmsford and Southend. It was quite tiring! Once we’d finished we headed to one of John’s favourite cities, Canterbury. We stayed at the Chaucer Hotel, as John stayed there when he was younger. Not quite the same as it was a Travelodge this time. We had some nice steak and chips at what is now County Restaurant before heading home, 426 miles later.
