Well... we go home tomorrow.
Had an amazing time over here and will definately come back again. Kids and adults both!
The weather has been absolutely stunning for us and that we are so grateful for. All of us tanned like we been away to spain for a week lol.
I take back what i said about the roads...have travelled around the island completley now and for every good smooth road, there 4 horredous pot holed, repair on a repair roads! However what i wpuld absolutley love to do is have the roads all closed off and do an isle of man type race around the island...some fantastic winding hilly roads etc
The island is noticeably well kept and clean. Even the houses and gardens are kept nice and tidy.
The native people dont appear to be the friendliest from what have experienced. Especially road manners...have let so many people pass by or let someone out of junctions etc and NOT ONE person ALL WEEK has put hand up to say thanks lol they just drive straight by!. It become a personal mission to be as courtious as possible to try and get just one thanks...mission failed so far.
Plenty of things to do on the island..my personal favourite was ryde and their beach. Have never seen a tide go out so far in all my life. Took us half an hour to walk from start of beach to the sea! All nice sand too.
The island has been taken over by the mods n rockers for the weekend. Have never seen so many vespa's and lambretta's. Literally hundreds of them buzzing around around the island!
Any enough rambling from me. Just a heads up if anyones considered going to isle wight..your have a great time.

I do agree i like it over there we always find it quite a relaxing place but never been over there in the summer hols so can't comment on the drivers. But its the same round here in the summer (and your way), you do just get fed up with holidaymakers jamming the roads up so we get grumpy and annoyed at them and never really as courteous as we could be.

Lovely to hear you've had a ( sunny ) relaxing break thebishman . . . . and feel rested and restored. My parents ' honeymooned ' on the I.O.W 65+years ago - which was considered quite an exotic location by them both!

What i have found enjoyment in is seeing all the thatched roof cottages hidden away, its like going back in time! Some very pretty area's over here. God i dont wanna go back lol
