I made it over the bridge with no problems, and then made my way down to Camber Sands, which only took me another hour. I arrived just on 1.00pm, and my interview was at 3.00pm so I drove around this little township to see the sites, not much to see except the English Channel, it was a nice day too, only 12 degrees. After Kiwi and I saw the English Channel we went and had Lunch in this little brasserie/seafood restaurant, it was a really great lunch. Then I tried to get into the Holiday Park to be early for my interview (as you do), but the earliest I could of got in would of been 2.30pm as there were other people being interview, so I had an hour to fill in time. The guard at the gate said Rye is only a 5 minute drive away, so I had a little drive around and saw Rye Castle & Ypres Tower which was built in 1209, Rye is one of the Cinque Ports - home to fishing boats and smugglers over the years. I spent half an hour there before jumping back in the car and getting ready for my job interview

The Job interview went well and I was happy with what I had done, but it wasn't up to me in was in the hand of the interviewer (Sue). The interview took just under an hour and when it was finished I drove around for a look at the place. They can sleep 3000 people and have a indoor swimming pool and stage & theatre, go-cart track and heaps more stuff. I thought the place was okay, but a little out-dated as it was built in the 1940's and as you can see by the pictures it looks like it.

After looking around the holiday park, I got back into the car and headed back to Essex.
