South Island - Windy Portland

Windy Portland

South Island

We survived the gales of Monday night though it was really noisy. The wind is still strong though due to calm down tonight so we should be able to leave tomorrow.
We caught the bus to Weymouth one day which is a really nice seaside town with a lovely beach and an old harbour. There was a beach volleyball tournament going on sponsored by the RAF.
Yesterday we went to Portland Castle which was very interesting and had an audio tour. When we were in Falmouth we joined English Heritage and this was another of their castles. Summer visitors beware! There are several places near Woodbridge and we can take Grandchildren in free.
