Hey, guys, welcome back to the Girl Gone London channel.
If you're new here, my name is Kalyn.
I'm an American who's lived in the UK for almost 10 years.
And today we are going together to Bournemouth Beach.
OK, so we're currently in the car on our
way to Bournemouth, which is a couple hours drive from us.
I have never been,
but I've been assured it is listed as one of the top beaches in the UK and it's also
a sandy beach, which a lot of people don't know about.
The UK is not what I think. A beach in Florida.
I think of Sandy, I don't think of Rocky.
But here there are both Sandy and rocky beaches.
The sun is actually shining and it's not going to rain.
And so we are making a run for it.
And oh, my goodness gracious,
there are some motorcycles you got to close on our side of the road.
I'll do a whole video about driving in the UK
anyway.
So I'm going to take you along on some of my travels in Bournemouth today.
Like I said, I haven't been there before,
but I have not been really anywhere in like six years.
So this feels as exciting to me as going like you.
I'm basically going to my own version of the Maldives right now.
I we've got lunch booked on the pier and we're going to walk along and see how
far we get and just check out what's going on.
So stick around and come to the beach with me.
And.
Hello and welcome to Bournemouth Beach.
I did say we were going to have lunch on the pier, but we changed our minds
because we wanted to be actually on the sand.
And I'm doing the most British thing I can
think of, which is having some chips and fish, fish and chips
that we've got out of food truck.
So now we've laid on our blanket and we're
going to eat our fish and chips at the beach.
Also, I wanted to note two things.
Number one,
you know that you're at a British beach
because, a, everybody is dressed up in coats and warm clothes because it is
not actually that warm, but you take what you can get.
And secondly,
the fact that it is finally actually
sunny, we decided to to enjoy it and to risk any
bad weather and just take advantage while you can.
So if you have, like, an hour of sun, you drive right down to the beach
and enjoy because you never know when the weather is going to change.
But we are going to walk along the beach later, so I'll take you with me.
And now we're going to eat our fish and chips so soon bit.
Guy.
OK, the time is eight to 10 to seven, and we ended up making it back
to Bournemouth Pier in an hour and 30 minutes, if
we then decided that we definitely needed to eat before the drive home.
So we ended up at a Greek restaurant,
which is a very British down to going cuisine from somewhere else.
And that was really good.
And we just go back to the car and it's
going to take us a couple hours to go home.
We're now feeling sunburned.
So again, maybe this is part three of a classic British beach day out.
You think you don't need sunscreen is going to be cloudy all day by mistake.
I know. I'm from Florida.
You always need sunscreen.
So we'll see what our faces look like tomorrow.
But overall, Bournemouth was so.
This is so refreshing,
it just looks like we didn't really explore that much of the town center
a little bit, but obviously mostly I'm talking about along the beach,
it was just really, really cool to see something else in England.
I can't believe I haven't been here before.
And like I said, if you are interested
in seeing some of England's sandy beaches, we're getting out to the coast.
Definitely check out Bournemouth.
Also, I brought up this question a couple of minutes ago where I feel like now I say
see, like, oh, I can I can see the sea instead of saying ocean.
And I feel like I would have never talked about the sea in Florida.
So someone told me or see an ocean interchangeable words or do people say,
see here because it actually is a sea that you can look at and not the ocean.
Inquiring minds want to know.
So thank you guys for joining my day.
If you like the video, make sure to give it a thumbs up to help
tell YouTube that you enjoyed your time in Bournemouth with me.
And I'll see you guys next time.
