Driving around the Isle of Wight really is like stepping back in time, not that it is behind the times in any way, but that life is so simple, relaxed and peaceful.
We stopped in Bembrook where Al found is dream house by the sea and I found some poky little shops, then we stopped up on the hill overlooking the entire ocean, for lunch down the steep steps onto the beachfront at the Quays Hotel in Shanklin.
Of course, we had to drive past the Lilliput look-a-like cottages in High Street which still look exactly as they did since the beginning of time.
Afternoon tea was an unexpected treat with us finding ourselves at Carisbrooke Castle for a little walkabout.
Back to Fishbourne to make sure we were early for the ferry, which actually meant that we were loaded up onto the second level and had the entire floor lifted and leveled out after all those heavy cars were parked, while we all had to remain in our cars!
Back to mainland Portsmouth for yummy curry dinner at Brewers Fayre.
