On the Isle of Portland, Dorset this is full of interesting things from the past. well worth a visit.
During the 1850s, the Old Town area began to be settled by Chinese, eventually leading to the Northern 2/3 of the area becoming known as Portland's Chinatown. Chinatown today is a tiny shadow of itself, with some two dozen Cantonese businesses (some restaurants date to the 1920s), as well as a Chinatown Gate and a new garden, the Suzhou Lan Su Chinese Garden.
The Portland Chinatown Gate was built in 1986 by the Chinese Consolidated Benevolent Association. The Chinese characters posted on the gate read "Portland Chinatown" in the front, and "Four Seas, One Family", in the back.

It rained all day the forecast was for cloud in the evening. Late afternoon the sky seemed to brighten and the clouds looked like clouds rather than a grey blanket. I felt sure the skys would clear as it had done this every day for the last week so I gambled and went to Portland Bill. Driving west for an hour I could see a line of clear sky on the horizon. By the time I arrived the clouds had almost completely gone melted away leaving a beautiful stary night. Sometimes the gamble pays off, but you have tomake the effort in the first place to be rewarded.
• I had breakfast this morning in the hotel's dining room, overlooking their garden, a very pleasant way to start the day.
• Chef's Omelette: 3 eggs, breakfast potatoes, buttered toast, local jam; choice of three fillings (cheddar, sausage, mushrooms). Delicious, well-prepared, nicely presented.
After dinner, we headed up to Portland and went to the Pittock Mansion viewpoint. It was very windy and amazingly cold, but the views were spectacular!!

Whale watch. Unfortunately, the whales must have had a previous engagement as there were none to be seen that day.
