After my previous post about my trip to Poole in Dorset I thought I right to set the record straight. True it was a terrible start top the weekend, however after breaking down and limping to our final destination 10 miles later we decide to put the extra effort in to ensure the rest of the weekend wasn’t spoilt.
We arrived late on the Friday night tired and thoroughly fed up, so we decided to log on to Trusted Places to quickly check out some attractions that were near by. As we only had one day remaining, we ended up making plans to shop in the morning and eat in the afternoon before driving back the following evening.
Having previously lived in Poole I have a fairly good idea of what was on offer, but we found a great little Café where we had a fantastic lunch in the Dolphin centre. For those of you unfamiliar this was right in the centre of town, in the main shipping complex.
This was only a five minute walk to the quay and so we then spend the afternoon by the sea with one of the main themed gatherings in full swing. This weekend we managed to catch motorbikes, and we were impressed with the sight of several hundred motorcycles sprawled along the quay.
Although a valuable lesson learned, we were able to efficiently save the weekend and have a great final day in Poole before we travelled home.
