Ferry prices were £200 return!
We were based near Yarmouth, but travelled around to various places.
Have relatives in Ryde so went out to restaurants and their places and had a great time.
Went to Calwell Bay, Did the steam train together which was great and got to see the outside of the carriage with blue glass as featured on TV. Did the Abbey and saw the garden where previous Nuns are buried.
Ryde beach and ate at the castle Hotel. Also did the Horse and Groom pub near to where we were staying twice, which had nice meals also and reasonable.
Went to the Donkey Sanctuary.
Previously did the Needles but disappointed, so didn't bother this time as too commercialised.
My Nans favourite area is Ryde as lovely sandy beach and flat to walk on so good for people with mobility or heart problems.
I should be going back in August to enlarge bathroom and fit shower tray and shower then September fitting their kitchen.
