Angela, Susan and I spent two nights in Whitstable while visiting family in Herne Bay. We spent a day in Whitstable by heading to Forge Oyster Bar. Here the girls indulged in oysters. Not being an oyster lover, I had two donuts — they were tiny!!!<\/p>\n

Along many beaches in Kent, may be found beach beach huts. These are typically used as change rooms and to shelter from the elements while visiting the beach.<\/p>\n

Later that afternoon, we visited a beach close to Whistable, where we discovered that there were some birds.<\/p>\n

Situated out to sea, off the north Kent coast, is a wind farm. The wind turbines are anchored to the sea bed.<\/p>\n
