A work day in Bournemouth

After three days of being a tourist, today I have to work. For the morning rather than work in the hotel room I found a coffee shop which also had bacon rolls and would let me sit there for a couple of hours.

When the laptop battery ran down I had a wall around the town then headed back to the hotel to carry on working.

Torcross

Exercise Tiger

I took a bus to Torcross – it was very hot and humid – to look at the Sherman Tank Memorial to the World War II Exercise Tiger.

The amphibious tank was one lost in the bay in 1944 and subsequently recovered in 1984 and placed as a memorial to those who were lost.
