Deal--cute but glad we had other places to go!

Here's our place in Deal--honestly the lock for the door reminded me of something out of Harry Potter. On second glance, the place was busling with activity in the daytime and had a cute little library right behind us (along with three main grocery stores with free delivery, where do I sign up!) If it was cleaner/gave a better first impression, I could see myself living there. Pensioners/Disabled ride the buses for free snd they take you to all of the outlying towns. The bus seats are angled up (like movie theatre seats) and you can see from back to front in the bus. (Everyone knows everyone on a casual basis, and as soon as he saw me, the driver lowered the ramp and helped us in)

Such kindness throughout "Have a great holiday! Can I help you?" And the Marks and Spencer's in the town square is handy too!






Here's the link to more pics of the cottage, what she doesn't show is the steep/open staircase that was a nightmare and the step that went up to the toilet! Yup, a stair to climb up to a toilet...

Here's the stairs...



crazy! Went down on my butt with Mom holding my ankles so I wouldn't slide sideways and fall down the side.



Medival key....These are all over London and for three pounds seventy ($3.70) you can get a "master" key from city hall that will open all disabled wadhrooms in the area! Great idea and the accessibility is awesome!



Waterfront







Cute pub we ate at....You aren't supposed to tip at pubs in the area. You order from the bar, and they bring the food out. Of course we discovered this fact AFTER hitting a few places so we'll know for next time!




Costa is on par with Starbucks there, and ALL of the UK places use whipping cream in coffee if you ask for cream. They don't even sell 10/18 percent cream in stores. If you ask for it, they'll have no idea what you are talking about. We were so glad to find a decent cup of coffee!
