Day Four (Sunday)
So I started the day off by watching Ted Lasso while Katy got another hour of sleep. Then, we went to breakfast to plan not just the day but the next couple of days. Looking at the radar, it looks like Sunday and Monday will be dry days, but Tuesday is calling for rain all day. Since we have been to the east, we thought Tuesday would be a good day to keep the car parked and take a train to Plymouth, actually in the Cornwall area. Also, that morning, I had emailed Bride Valley Winery to see if it was possible just to stop by and look around.
So after breakfast, we stopped by the train station to confirm what we thought was a good plan for Tuesday. We went ahead and purchased the round-trip tickets, so Tuesday is planned (for the most part). We text Bruce to meet us in Plymouth on Tuesday instead of coming to Weymouth on Monday. So it’s all coming together.
But for the day at hand, the plan is to hike 8+ miles around the island of Portland. What a great find. Though it was 9.25 miles when all was said and done, the views were amazing. Though you have some inclines, it’s not a strenuous hike at all and not like the hikes we had done two days prior.
Safe to say, it was an early night for us. Just a couple of pubs and then back home. But two things did happen. One Bride Valley Winery responded to my message and said that even though they are closed on Monday, they have a vendor tasting and can join them. And two at the Waterloo, we had another great time with our new friends and will meet them tonight for dinner.
