Trip Across Europe DAY #8
We left this morning for the southern part of England as we wanted to be close to the Eurotunnel on Tuesday morning as we needed to be in Siegen, Germany by Tuesday afternoon. We chose the city of Hastings to stay because it is a bigger city. Hastings has a lot of historical importance dating back to 1066 with William the Conqueror. We found a nice little bed and breakfast to stay at the was also within our price range. Once we got checked in, we headed downtown to walk along the beach, change some money out and get some dinner.

We had a little glitch as our ATM card was confiscated by an ATM machine. This was not good as we are traveling through Europe and need it to withdraw funds. After an unfruitful conversation with the people at the bank, I called our bank only to find out that everyone’s cards had been cancelled due to some kind of security breach. An email from the bank may have been nice, at the very least. Anyway, that situation is being taken care of, but it is no fun when it happens. But a dinner at an Indian food restaurant and a walk on the beach made things better. We even got to see the castle ruins from a distance.
