On Friday, as the rain poured down, I was a little to scared to even look at the weather forecast for our Rochester trip ... BUT, we had some lovely sunshine, and some of the students were dressed more for summer than I was 😂😂😂

| A total of 25 students joined me for this day trip, some taking part in the optional Quiz Trail. We also met up with Kirsten and several students from the Greenwich Campus. |
"Thanks a million Lynne, for taking us to Rochester where
we explored the oldest castle, sky-scraping cathedral
and walked over the Rochester bridge with a wonderful riverside view. The only thing we missed was visiting the Guildhall Museum, but that's fine we'll try next time.
The main part of today's trip I enjoyed finding out about
the 'Quiz Trail' with my friends and it helped me to know
more about Mr. Charles Dickens and his writings.
And I found that his novels were mostly connected with Rochester which is interesting. We enjoyed it a lot
and learnt new things with our team

"It was an incredible day! Visiting a place rich with history, specially one where Charles Dickens once lived in his childhood, was truly a memorable experience. It felt like stepping back in time, offering a much needed escape from
the pressure of last term thesis work and daily responsibilities. Grateful for this refreshing day tour.
It was the perfect break in the midst of all the work."

After enjoying a coffee and snack, Kirsten and I discovered the Rochester Bridge Chapel, which was absolutely beautiful. Originally built in 1387, then restored in 1937, this is where people would pray for safety in crossing the bridge, which had no protective sides 😲
I'm not sure how many people completed the whole of our Quiz Trail, but Milenka, Jude and Famous certainly persevered.
Farewell, Rochester! See you another day!
