Goodbye Rye and back to London

After a great breakfast at the Hope and Anchor, we checked out and had one last look around the town.

 View across flats

Back up throught the maze of streets, and if you ever come wear sensible walking shoes as the cobbles are not suitable for heels! Stopped at the 'Old Bell' which was rebuilt as were most of the buildings after 1395 when the French razed the town! 

The Old Bell

After that the fortification were increased and later on the town became infamous as a heart of smuggling throughout the 15th to 19th centuries. The Old Bell was joined to The Mermaid Inn by tunnels to assist the smugglers.

Just had to try an Ale

So back on the train from Rye to Hastings then on to London Bridge, and back to Greenwich. A great weekend to start my holiday and we said hello to Leann  who is busily studying, so slipped out again to Daveys wine bar only to leave Leann in peace! Well thats my story. 

Up today with a few things to do for the girls around the place, so will see what the day brings.
