Dorset day 2

So, we wake up in Weymouth and start exploring the place! First, a walk with the dog, past some blossoms.



And new leaves.



Unfortunately I got poisoned at breakfast by the weird B&B host and was feeling sick for quite a while.


(This is not her, but their dog.)

BTW, this is how Zebedee travels. Well, the door closed, most of the time.



A couple of hours later we headed to Portland.



Lots of rocks.


















Just another day at the office...



Then we came across this place:



Weird little beach huts... or what are they.... with rock gardens.






Apparently it's called Church Ope Cove. Fascinating place!






Found a pirate's grave...



Random stuff on the way back to the car.















In the evening, a lovely dinner and drinks at the old harbour!



I didn't know what to expect of Weymouth, but it was much nicer than I expected.

Dorset day 1

Lovely, sunny day, a car, a road (or two)... wonderful. We set out to drive to Weymouth today, and stopped at Lulworth Cove and Durdle Door on the way. Actually, even before that, we stopped at New forest for a little walk, and saw some New Forest ponies!



To enter Lulworth Cove, first you have to get past the bucket and spade tree.



And here it is: Lulworth Cove.



...seen from a hilltop.



...from here, in fact: (see the two people on top for scale?)



Those people up there are actually looking at this scene (Lulworth Cove was right behind them):



A random photographer.



Then we climbed up this path...



(From that path, looking back at Lulworth Cove.)



(Zebedee running up that hill on the right, for about the third time while us two were slowly walking up the hill...)



...to get to Durdle Door.



These are the steps that you have to walk down to get to the beach.






Zebedee liked the beach a lot.



Looking back on the way back to the car.
