For the bank Holiday weekend we headed south on a road trip with Simon and Sarah.
We started on Friday night with Pizzas and Mojitos. We had an early night so we could get an early start to beat the holiday rush.
We had a good trip down through Bournemouth, around to the Isle of Purbeck and stopped off at Swanage for lunch of fish and chips on the beach. The weather was great, nice and sunny and the beaches all along the coast were packed all weekend.
Between Swanage and Weymouth we got thirsty, so stopped off at Corfe Castle...
Where we found this lovely little pub to quench our thirsts.
Sampling the local ales and ciders with Corfe Castle in the background.
During the walk to Durdle Door at Lulworth Cove, Sean got a little too close to the locals.
Durdle Door. This little beach is lovely, and the walk to it is fairly hard work, so not too many venture down. We are hoping to get back there when the weather is warmer...hopefully next summer is an improvement on this one!
England's South Coast.

From Lulworth cove we headed north towards Dorset to find somewhere to camp for the night. It was a bit of an effort, it seems every man and his dog was camping in the south of England.
Next morning Sean and Simon went Zorbing (Big plastic ball rolling down a hill with the boys inside). They had a ball. (Sorry, Sean's joke!)
More beaches, filled with very white people.
We followed the coastal road to a place the boys spotted on the map...
they were in heaven, they had found a town called Beer!
They were so excited, they even went for a swim in Beer!
We stayed our second night in a B&B just out of Bath. We spent half the day exploring the town, the Roman baths, Bath Abbey and surrounds. Also calling in at Stonehenge before heading abck to London. It was a great weekend. I think the last long weekend now until Christmas :(
