Bournemouth and Lulworth

What a wonderful day we had today. The bus picked us up at 8:30 a.m. and took us to Bournemouth where we had a wonderful time on the beach and then visited a museum and art gallery in an old victorian house. In the afternoon we got on the bus and had a scenic trip through the English countryside to Lulworth where we visited the Dorset and East Devon World Heritage site. There we hiked for an hour to the Cove and Durdle Door pictured below. It is special for its rocks, fossils and landforms, which date from 65-150 million years ago. We had real English weather;sometimes cloudy, sometimes sunny with lots of wind. On the way home we saw a double rainbow! It is so beautiful and historic here. We are having a great time.
