Durdle Door

On Sunday Andy took me on another adventure in the English county side. The sun was shinning, meaning a perfect day for a mini hike around Lulworth. We drove to Lulworth where there is Lulworth castle, absolutely stunning (I couldn't wait to see the inside), Durdle Door and a few country pubs. He said just recently a hotel in Dubai was sued for using pictures of Durdle Door claiming it to be a beach at their resort in Dubai. A bit hard to believe since Dubai is scorching hot and England isn't really know for its extremely hot, cloudless days but guess the picture was taken on an outstanding English summers day. Who knows?! Anyway, we parked in a field parking lot and walked down to the coast get a few pictures and explore some more. There were loads of people out and about taking pictures of Durdle Door and going on walks around the coast. Andy originally wanted to go on a few mile walk to Durdle Door but, thank God, we couldn't find the beginning of that walk. It would have been miles of, as Andy calls it "The Roller Coaster", constantly up and down on really, really steep hills. After taking a few pictures, and me eyeing the ice cream trailer, Andy some how convinced me to go up one of these hills. I don't know if I could have made it up multiple hills...and for miles! In the end, as always, it was worth it with a phenomenal view and a few extra calories burned! Guess thats better than an ice cream cone. :-) Then, as we usually do after these walks, we went to a local pub finishing the afternoon with an ale and cider!
