Southbourne

We arrived in Southbourne on April 30^th. Southbourne is a small suburb of Bournemouth and is the most easterly part of the Borough of Bournemouth. We went from London Heathrow to Southbourne by bus. We got our first impression of the area during this ride.

There were not many people on the streets and it seemed really quiet but we could see some nice typical English houses. In general there are many detached houses in Southbourne but there are also semi-detached and terraced houses but I did not see any block of flats. All of the houses have small gardens and some of them look really neat.

Although only few people live in Southbourne there were different possibilities to buy food or other stuff and to go to a restaurant or a pub. Most of the shops were located in Southbourne Grove. We crossed this road to get to the beach where we often spent our free time. It is a real nice place to walk along the beach and enjoy the scenery.
