What could be better than a day on the beach in the sunshine? How about a day on the beach and a trip in a giant helium balloon! I was missing Dorset and so decided to briefly return, and this time the seaside destination was Bournemouth. Now Bournemouth may have a reputation for being a bit bland, but don't believe the naysayers. It's a vibrant, fun place to visit, but perhaps the best way to view it is from the air in their iconic tethered balloon.
