Today I bit the bullet and decided to visit the Islands 1st Theme Park; Blackgang Chine – well sort of.
The group has opened a new attraction for the more mature visitors, which of course I appreciated.
The attraction “The Disappearing Village” describes local history around the Chine the tourist information tells us;
From 2010, for the first time there will be a new way to explore the mysterious past of this beautiful coastline. Come & visit our fascinating exhibitions, inspiring cinema, quality shops & nostalgic tearooms and at the same time enjoy spectacular views down the south west coast to the Needles.
I left the village before it disappeared completely and headed for Seaview to visit “Flamingo Park”.
Its a huge area, with gentle slope down to a large lake at the bottom, the park not only has Flamingo’s but all manner of birds, reptiles and cuddly mammals.
… “I say Reginald is that the new Lumix Micro Four Thirds system..?”, “Nah, that’s last years model…”
… “Ohh… do come in and join us the waters luvely…”
… “ahhhhhhhh…”
… “Its not easy being this cute you know…”
… “Make sure you get my best side d’arlink…”
… love is in the air…
… “meh…”
… sitting in the poo cleaning?
… “Hey! you lookin’ at me?”
… leaving the love birds at Seaview, I returned to Freshwater Bay for a relaxing evening…
