Because there are just an incredible amount of pictures from our Dorset trip, ive decided to break it into two parts!Coming up are pictures from day 1 and day 2 of our trip.
Our summer holiday took place at the South Coast,namely Dorset. Dorset is famous for a number of holiday resorts and we decided to stay at Poole which is a pretty large coastal town and seaport of Dorset. Poole is famous for its award winning beaches and also its rich history.Its a pretty seaside town that has its balance of quaint little cottages and gorgeous waterfront properties!
Day 1
welcome to rockley caravan park,our home for 5 days!
our home and mode of transportations
checking in
drumroll* presenting caravan number 13!!
the living room and 1/4 of our luggages.
the caravan was surprisingly quite spacious inside.it was my first time staying in a caravan and I always had the impression from movies that caravans would be all cramped up and uncomfortable. but the ones at rockley park were really quite nice!fully furnished and spacious living room with a tv,fully equipped kitchen,bedrooms and toilet.very nice
beachbags

one of the bedrooms
we arrived at poole some time in the afternoon and though half our day was gone,we could not wait but check out the beach nearby our resort!it was a beautiful sunny day!
this picture is classic haha!us girls with our hats prancing around in the sun and jyymei under her umbrella with her bodylanguage which seems to read 'omg the sun is too hot!get back under here girls!!'we

testing out the waters.
oo freezing cold!
beautiful
after having a good game of volleyball,beach soccer and playing around in the sea,we headed back home and got ready for dinner.this is me behind our caravan right before we left for dinner!here you can see some of the other caravans!
in front of the restaurant.we stopped by to take a couple of pictures because the sun was about to set and it was simply beautiful.
later before heading back home we stopped by to get some groceres for our bbq the next day
jyymei with the chrysanthemum tea leaves she brought for the trip!
emmy with er the bananas!
and me with all the sugar we stole from burger king earlier on for our tea!
Day 2
On the second day we drove to bournemouth town and stopped by the citycentre where we went a bit mad at h&m( 3 pounds 3 pounds!)Everyone needed to buy either this or that for the beach so we spent a great deal of time at h & m. 
walking to our car
then we hit bournemouth seafront!
the beautiful beach!it was packed with people but our joy was shortlived because it started to rain a bit
watching the rain from inside the pier
thank god it only rained a bit and that was the only time it rained. over the next few days we had fab weather!
after that we did a bit of sightseeing at Corfe castle which is set on the purbeck hills. Corfe castle is under the National Trust and has a number of interesting stories behind it. 'Legend has it that Corfe was the scene of Edward the Martyr's murder in 978. The teenage king is said to have been on a hunting trip in Purbeck, when he was set upon and stabbed. The order for his death supposedly came from Elfryda, his wicked step-mother, so that her son Ethelred could succeed to the throne.'
thats us in the chilly after rain weather and the beautiful corfe castle behind us
nearby horses
corfe castle town where we stopped for some lovely English afternoon scones and tea
oo and the corfe castle town has a bit of a history with Enid Blyton.Apparently she spent some of her time in this town and the castles featured in Kirrin Island of her Famous Five series were said to be based on Corfe Castle!
town houses with doors for short people like me.save cost
with cute garden gnomes and decorations
probably one of the best mottos in life!
after that the sun came out and we rejoiced!we headed over to lulworth to catch sight of the infamous Jurassic Coast UNESCO World Heritage Site
Breathtaking view of the Jurassic coast from above.Isnt it so beautiful?
Durdle door
this picture of our flipflops ties in nicely with the previous picture lol!
when we were just about to begin our hike walk down, we met lots of ppl in proper footwear and i was thinking geez what inappropriate footwear for the beach! then we also met this elderly man and his wife panting and huffing when they reached the top.admist trying to catch their breath,they commented on our footwear and we haha-ed and continued down.lets just say it wasnt an easy walk down!
group picture!
leading the way HAHA!here we go with our flipflops!!
walking down
first ( and thankfully only) leg injury along the way
it was a longggggg walk down but with every step we took, we were closer to the crystal blue waters yay!
we made it!the place was even more beautiful at the bottom
in front of durdle door!
pebbles pebbles and more pebbles
after our walk back up.phew it was exhausting after the previous walk down and playing around at the beach!

at midnight we surprised shereen with a birthday cake as it was her birthday the next day!
our darling shereen turned 25 but rest assured shes very much a 5 year old at heart
and we celebrated lydia's birthday too as she will be turning 23 some time later this month!

a toast to the birthday girls!
