Quick notes from Easter Sunday (12 April 2009):
• The weather was bright and sunny and we felt so happy to be driving and enjoying the outdoors. We drove to Portland Castle in the morning then on to Lulworth Cove from where we went kayaking with 4 others plus our Jurassic Kayak Tours guide along the Jurassic Coast, seeing fossils (mainly trees rings) and the spectacular coastline of worn away Portland stone and limestone, including the famous Durdle Dor which from our side of the water looked remarkably like a dragon drinking – the legend goes that St George wounded the dragon who then went to his favourite part of England to die and he lay down to drink water from the ocean and then died! We kayaked under the ‘dragon’s neck’ and pulled in to shore for a rest. On departure we pointed our kayaks down the slope of the beach (of pebbles) and got a great push so we zoomed down and into the water!
• We tried to get fish & chips at a few places before finally eating them at West Bay in view of a gorgeous sunset.
• Played Take Two over apple pie back at the YHA.
• A fabulous day.
