Trip out to a little town called Burley with Colleen, Glen and Kirsten. Burley is a bit of a "witchy" town for lack of a better word. It is a stunning little town and when I say little I mean little. It's by the New Forest and they have a place you can hire bicyles and go on cycle routes - kinda made me think of the Blair Witch Project.
All the little shops focus on a witch theme but the best one was "A Coven of Witches" - there stuff was really cool but I avoided spending all my money by constantly reminding myself that whatever I buy I have to get back to SA somehow. The pic below is a pic of the shop and below it is a pic of "The Sorcerers Apprentice Gift Shop" - really cool name but not quite as cool as the first one.


After browsing through the two shops we decided to settle on some lunch at The Burley Inn, I just thought this pic was really mystical and cool, it would be a lovely place to have a meal outside but the weather was not quite appropriate for outside dining. ;)

We took a walk along the peer and then along the beach road which was a bit of an uphill - good fresh air pumped into our lungs.

View from the peer.

One of the things I enjoyed most about Bournemouth was the festival type feel that it had - it was like walking into a movie that was set in a carnival. Yeah it might look like rides from Gold Reef City but it somehow had a very movie type feel. Like a typical American carnival. Really wierd especially since I have never been to an American carnival ... I think.
All in all the day was a good relaxing day filled with fresh air and new sights.
