UK and Med Cruise - Day 25 - 29 September - Margate

We needed to have a quiet day today, so we decided to just take a train somewhere, which turned out to be Margate.
This is a nice holiday town by the sea, a little desolate already because the summer is definitely over - so for example the huge Dreamland Amusement Park was completely closed - it opens on weekends only at this time of year.  The overcast weather added to this 'closed' sort of feeling.
However, we did have a nice walk and look around.  We saw the Shell Grotto which was quite interesting.  The Tudor House

was unfortunately not open but we didn't really mind; this was just about wandering around and having that nice quiet day.
Not long after we passed the Tudor House, a huge rain-shower hit, which was our hint for lunch!
After that, we caught the train back to Canterbury and then got ready for the next day's travels.
