20180717 travel to Folkestone

Date: 20180717

Stay: Sandstone Hotel, Sandstone

Activities

Today our journey home begins. Because Lise still has a lot of problems with her blisters and because we do not feel like carrying heavy bags, I go by bus from Poole to West Lulworth to get the car. Lise stays in the cafe where we spent the night. When I asked if it was ok that I would leave the bags and my daughter there for a while, they looked a bit strange, but it was okay. The owner is Belgian and we had a nice chat this morning.

Fortunately, I found a bus that stops around the corner of the cafe and goes directly to West Lulworth. It only goes a few times a day, but that is not a problem. I can easily get the one of 10:00.

In the bus I work on the photos from the last two days so that I only have to upload them. They are on now.

When I arrive in West Lulworth, I walk to the car and after half an hour I am back in Poole. After parking illegally in a dead end street, I walk to the cafe (50 meters) and put the bags and my daughter in the car 🙂

We decided to drive back to Swanage to buy souvenirs. We have lunch in Swanage and find what we are looking for.

Then it goes straight to Folkestone, where we stay one last night before we take the ferry tomorrow and drive home. We come through Poole and also past South Haven Point where we take the same ferry as yesterday, but now by car.
On the way we have a bit of traffic jam as we drive past London, but we had already expected that.

In Sandstone we check in and stay at the hotel to eat and have a drink. We have a room with seaview!

Weather

Nice summer weather, sunny and occasionally a cloud. On the way to Folkestone more clouds.

Lyric of the day

Today we enjoyed the Jurassic Coast for the last time. And although it is not a real dinosaur, the lyrics of today are Godzilla by the Blue Öyster Cult:

With a purposeful grimace and a terrible sound
He pulls the spitting high-tension wires down

Helpless people on subway trains
Scream bug-eyed as he looks in on them

He picks up a bus and he throws it back down
As he wades through the buildings toward the center of town

Oh no, they say he’s got to go
Go go Godzilla, yeah
Oh no, there goes Tokyo
Go go Godzilla, yeah

Oh no, they say he’s got to go
Go go Godzilla, yeah
Oh no, there goes Tokyo
Go go Godzilla, yeah

Godzilla! zilla…zilla…God zilla God zilla God zilla God zilla
God zilla God zilla God zilla God zilla God zilla God zilla
God zilla God zilla God zilla God zilla God zilla God zilla
Godzilla!

Rinji news o moshiagemasu!
God zilla God zilla God zilla God zilla God zilla God zilla
Rinji news o moshiagemasu!
Godzilla ga Ginza hoomen e mukatte imasu!
God zilla God zilla God zilla God zilla God zilla God zilla
Daishikyu hinan shite kudasai! Daishikyu hinan shite kudasai!
God zilla God zilla God zilla God zilla God zilla God zilla
God zilla God zilla

Oh no, they say he’s got to go
Go go Godzilla, yeah
Oh no, there goes Tokyo
Go go Godzilla, yeah
