August 18, 2013–Harwich, England Fort

About the only thing interesting to see in Harwich is an old Roman Fortress which was enhanced as a defensive fort when England was afraid that Napoleon would invade. It is a circular fortress overlooking the harbor. They day we visited, they were having a beer festival inside so, of course, we stayed for the afternoon and met some people who were going on the cruise with us the next day.
