Drove into Weymouth to have a look around. Went along the foreshore to the North
Harbour, then tried to get to the island offshore (there is a causeway) but got
lost a couple of times. We finally made
it across the causeway to the Isle of Portland.
It is where Portland Stone is quarried.
It is a very high island, there is a great view from the top back across
to the mainland,
we had morning tea at the highest point. Many of the buildings are built of the
stone. There is also a prison on the
island, we drove up to it along a very windy road.
We headed back to Weymouth and had lunch, then we walked around
Weymouth having a look at the shops and the great old buildings for about three
hours.
We headed home late afternoon. It starts getting dark here at about 1630.
