2nd post for Sunday

Hi again,
My dad's English football team, Queens Park Rangers, re-entered the soccer's premier league. In honor of this achievement I decided to get a tattoo in Bournemouth. Here it is, a soccer ball with QPR underneath. Hope you like it dad. It didn't hurt a bit.



Here's some naughty little squirrels looking for their breakfast on one morning



Some views from Bournemouth,s Open Top Bus ride








The Open Top Bus




This balloon in Bournemouth Square (attached to the ground by a long rope) takes people up so they can see views up to 20 miles away.



By the way dad, the tattoo was sprayed on and is almost gone now.

I do like to live beside the seaside

Hi there,

Here are some pics of Bournemouth. I've just spent a week here and despite losing my plug adaptor, my iphone charger and lastly my computer (which I left in Tesco's and thankfully recovered the next day) i't amazing how heavy my case still is. Apparently Mary Shelley, Winston Churchill, and Enid Blyton are just a few of the famous people associated with this area. Thomas Hardy wrote Tess of the D'erbavilles here too (I loved that book).


Bournemouth pier

 Bournemouth Square




Coast line from Bournemouth pier looking towards Poole (Poole harbour and Sydney harbour are the two biggest natural harbours in the world). Who knew I'd learn stuff while travelling.

View of Buscombe (where my hotel was, 5 mins from Bournemouth). I actually walked along the coast here for about an hour. Hey, no-one was more surprised by that than me.


Just one of the hundreds of places to stay in Bournemouth.
