Newark-on-Trent

Newark is rightly said to be one of the most beautiful cities on the Trent.

We are currently moored on the bank opposite the tree you see at the far right in this picture.  It makes a wonderful view out our windows. 

The buildings are magnificent.  This open town square gives it a very European feel.  It reminds me of the town squares in Belgium that we saw when visiting DD1 there years ago.

Mike also liked Newark since it has a wonderful Greek restaurant where we celebrated Father's Day by thoroughly over indulging.

Now, on to the tidal portion of the Trent.  This will be a thoroughly new experience for which we had to buy a special 10 pound guide to navigate us through the obstacles.  Will talk with you on the other side.
