Restless Prairie Girl

In late October 2022 I based myself in the seaside town of Weymouth in Dorset at a lovely Bed and Breakfast right across from the beach with the harbour behind. The Anchorage was a great place to stay with friendly hosts and delicious breakfasts.  As well, there was a great view of the beach from my room.  I'll be writing about my other adventures in the area but this post is about my day out at Lulworth Cove and Durdle Door on the Jurassic Coast.  These are two places I had dreamed about visiting for a few years.   So on a sunny Monday morning, I boarded the X54 bus to Lulworth Cove.  Of course I had to climb up to the top deck of the bus.   Forty-five minutes later I was dropped off at Lulworth Cove village.  This is Stair Hole which is comprised of blow holes, arches and caves that were created through years of erosion.   Looking back at Lulworth Cove village.  As well as tourist facilities there are private homes....

So here's another snazzy title - what can I say I am on a roll!!  The way I walk these days pretty much describes it.  My Lonely Planet mini-guide gushed that Positano was the "pin-up" of the Amalfi coast so of course I had to go and check it out.   After being dropped off by the shuttle I managed to find my way to the Sorrento bus station (there were a few hiccups but I did find it eventually) where I purchased a 24-hour ticket for 10 euros. The line for the SITA public bus was very long and the bus was full before I could get to the front - there were still about five people ahead of me.  However, that had a silver lining as I was able to get a choice seat on the next bus which pulled up a few minutes later and loaded right away  - a window seat where I had a good view of the sea.   I had heard the trip along the Amalfi coast was a wild one and that is no lie!  I can't even imagine how it would be in the summer with much heavier traffic....
