It was a fairly random decision that led us to go over to the Isle of Wight today. We wanted to take train from Ryde to Shanklin basically, just for heck of it. It was that which led us to being on the wightlink fast cat at 0915.
Apart a bit of niggling pain in my lower left leg, we had a lovely day. We had a good breakfast in cafe which was very nice and lasted me all day before walking through Shanklin town centre and down to the waterfront
We spent a few minutes in the arcade but decided not to play any of the penny arcade machines. We had found out that the Isle Of Wight heritage railway was having a gala day. We decided to look in.
It was very interesting we had a lovely ride on a steam train and good look around the displays all of which were nicely laid out.
