Day 37 ~ Tuesday August 06, 2019 Portland (Weymouth) England on the 14 day Scottish Explorer

We are here until all aboard at 10pm

Today was such a glorious day we headed to the seaside town of Weymouth and enjoyed a long walk along the prom and beach. 
A Victorian seaside resort with these little shops all around the streets.  It has its own museum and a bit of a harbour with plenty of pubs and Fish & Chip places. 
To squint at the Weymouth Harbour’s painted houses and restaurant terraces in the sunshine, you’d be forgiven for thinking you’re in a different country.
But these flat-fronted buildings with bay windows are unmistakeably Georgian.
You can saunter along at your leisure, watching the boats go by on the busy waterway, and perusing the little shops.
There are cafes, pubs, tea rooms, fish and chip shops and cafes vying for your business.
You’ll also find shops selling crabbing lines and baits, and can try catching your own from the quays in summer.
Every two hours, 363 days a year, the Weymouth Town Bridge cranks open to let water traffic through.

And as the sun sets we are headed out to dinner.
Thanks for joining us.  Your friends Leslee & Bob
