Well I guess that concludes the holiday journal, I’m sitting in the carpark at East Cowes Red Funnel terminal waiting to board.

Stopped off at the bay where the surfers “surf” at Hanover Point…

Thats strange, I was reading my paper, looked up and Freshwater Bay has dissapeared.

From the hotel patio I can’t see as fasr as the lifeboat station – fog has rolled off the coast and blanketed the whole area.

Well, I’ve checked out of the hotel, and I’m sitting in the bay trying to read a newspaper.

my room top right, ooops forgot to close the door

The day was slightly spoiled this morning when my usual breakfast table overlooking the coast was already taken by someone else. There was a lot of waiting, and I was told that this wasn’t my table anyway even though I was shown to it on the first morning and used it for every other day. I felt a bit disgruntled when I was given an alternative table facing the wall – I felt like a naughty school boy!

Not sure what to do today, the ferry back isn’t until 16:30…

Arrived back at the hotel about 6pm, it was still warm so I spent the rest of the evening having a kip on the balcony, and chatting with friends on the phone.

Arrived in Ryde and got some nice shots of the hovercraft – a British invention you know!

Stopped over at a couple of bays on my way to Sandown – the one below is Compton Bay (I think)…

Sandown is very tourist friendly, sand beeches plenty of hotels, very different to West Wight which I prefer.

I’ll be getting something to eat in a bit before my next trip – not sure if I will continue into Ryde or not.

Had a really restful night, woke up this morning to a great sunny day – the tide was in, and after a short walk along the bay after breakfast I just had to return to get my camera…

Still not quite sure what I’m going to do today; I’m quite enjoying not doing anything.
