Day 3 (little late)
Well, while I was in the West side of the island I found a techonological failure — no 3G connection
Anyhow, this is the hotel I booked myself into for Friday night! It’s in my favourite area of the island called "Freshwater", and this of course is they bay.
…. Meanwhile
Let’s stop for Pimms – at Newport
I’ve stopped at Newport described as the "capital of the island" by the local estate agent. Hmmm, 2 hours in the parking meter was way (way, way… way) to much time!
In the Amazon (not the bookshop)
Spent the afternoon at Amazon, giant greenhouses maintaining the tropical climate.
Some happy animals and looking at them, a few depressed – reminds me of work!
Day2
Had an enjoyable night listening to the sea.
Today, I visited the wax works, surprisingly no changes in 2years since my last visit.
Just having lunch at the moment on the Sandown pier. Them then later off to the Amazon..
Across the sea…
I dine tonight at a Thai restaurant in Shanklin. A little expensive, but I am on holiday!

There seems to be a big storm brewing, the window in my room looks into the bay so should be interesting.
Got the room booked fortif second day, plan to look at the east side of the island tomorrow.
