At this point, we had been awake for almost 22 hours but this view of the English Channel was worth staying up for. On a clear day (which this day was not) you can see the white cliffs of Dover. I wished I could have recited Arnold's Dover Beach but I didn't get much past "The sea is...uh..." and then got it confused with this one (which I think I like better). In the end, I stood there and said "O frabjous day! Callooh! CALAIS!" and chortled in my joy.
