Fish and chips and Pimms
Overlooking Bournemouth beach Today was a day at the beach, enjoying all things British. Bournemouthe is a beach resort town, and has been for many decades. Some parts of the town are showing their age; shop are closing because of online shopping. But there are still classic shops like candy stores, Cornish pasties, fish & chips, etc. There’s nice gardens and an active beach and pier with round observation wheel. The beach has lovely sand, as opposed to the regular pebbles on other English beaches.
I was surprised that there were so many people in Bournemouth town, for a Monday. When I bought a ticket for the observation wheel (8 pounds) I noted how many people were around. This in nothing, I was told. The place is overflowing in summer because this is the best beach. Guess I am lucky for today. I usually ignore cable car wheels but today I felt like this was one of the last vacation days abroad, so I paid silly high prices to get a bird’s eye view of Bournemouth beach, and eat a Cornish pastie, and eat fish and chips in “the best restaurant”with a very tasty Pimms. And I could take good photo to share
The wheel
For eight pounds you car go around several times. with you. All and all, it was a good day in a beach town.
