Isle of Man Day 3
Another long day on the island, we first went to the Ballaglass Glen, which has two streams containing a number of waterfalls.
Due to time constrain, we cut out Ramsey, we stopped at King Orry's grave then onto Laxey. The Laxey wheel was going when we arrived. We had a quick lunch at the train station, then we caught the electric train to Sneafell. It was fairly good weather and sunny in Laxey, but not so much at the top!
We had to warm up with a cup of tea whilst waiting for the return train. Then I got a scoop of Davidson's icecream, it was not that impressive, maybe I should have got it from the parlour.
We went onto Douglas at good time. The Manx museum was good. I got some cash out, but as it turns out, it was Manx money, I had to trade it for some English money. We walked around town and go on the ferry.

Isle of Man Tour Day 2
We first went to Glenmaye to look at a waterfall.
Then we went to Niarbyl bay, even though the cafe was not open. I was very battered by the wind.
Then we went onto Port Erin. Which their normal train service is a steam train!
We then went to Cregneash, it is like a small version of Beamish. We saw a demo Manx cat, and the demo Laughton sheep. Then we had lunch at the Sound. We had a crab sandwich and a seafood chowder. There were many seals off the Sound, I was battered even more.
Lastly, we went to Castletown to look at Rushen Castle. They has an old map, with very old spelling and was made before Hong Kong was founded. We picked up a Manx steak, a Castletown sausage, Manx potato and Manx brocolli then went home. The steak was nice, I wasn't so sure about the sausage.
