The weather was gorgeous today, warm and sunny all day long. We made the most of it by spending all day out and about. First, we walked around Ryde, which must be my second favourite town on the Isle of Wight. Then we headed over to St Helen’s and had lunch with my sister at Baywatch on the Beach – a great restaurant serving delicious food which overlooks the Solent – so something nice to look at and lots of people to watch.
Later on we drove down to Sandown where I tried to push back all the hideous memories of High School and concentrated on winning (unsuccessfully) soft toys at the crappy amusement arcade. With my money gone we drove up to Culver Down where we ate ice-cream and admired the views.
Having spent a couple of hours at Calbourne Mill yesterday feeding the ducks, geese, pigeons and fish, driving along the Military Road, checking out Shrek 3 and the latest Harry Potter film, I think we have exhausted our list of things to do this holiday.
Perhaps too late for us (until next time) I have just happened upon this great little blog. Matt & Cat visit and comment on meals out on the Island. A must read next time we plan a meal out. [Perhaps I should bring it to my mums attention so we don’t have to eat at Ponda Rosa again.]
