Arrived in Canterbury - on to Rome?

We arrived in Canterbury this morning in time for the 11 Eucharist after which we were met by Canon Clare for a special blessing - I'd asked the visits office by email before we set off as to whether Pilgrims needed to pay to enter the Cathedral and was told that they did not and was asked if we'd like a blessing on our arrival. From the Canon we also received our via Francigena credential and were pointed to this Way's starting point just outside the Cathedral so tomorrow we're setting off for Rome ..... or rather we'll walk the 20ish miles from Canterbury to Dover on the way to Rome, that Pilgrimage (of about 1200 miles) will have to wait for another time!
