Terrible quality photo is terrible.

Isle of Man, May 2004.

I tried very hard to get a good seal shot, but they wouldn't come closer...

 

As Ken promised, there were lots of seals.

 

It was a nice break at the café, perhaps not for the juvenile gull that was pleading with lots of people for a titbit - but it is against the IoM law to feed them.

 

I didn't get a good shot of the café - pictures here thesound.im

Looks as though the novelty of owning one of East Germany's best may have worn of with this example

Buses galore at the Port Erin railway station layover area. From front to back we see :

 

214 - a Mercedes Benz Citaro new in 2011/2

 

123 - a Wrightbus Streetlite new in 2011

 

20 and 22 - a pair of Alexander Dennis Trident / East Lancs Myllenium Lolyne new in 2005/6

Built 1854, and the largest working waterwheel in the world.

For our free day, we caught the bus to Port Erin from Douglas and then realised the first train of the day was about to leave.

Ellan Vannin - Isle of Man.

 

Castletown is dominated by the medieval Castle Rushen, one of the best preserved medieval castles in Europe and ancient home of the Kings and later Lords of Mann. Tynwald, the Manx Government, was based in Castle Rushen by the 1500s and Castletown was the Island's capital until Tynwald moved to Douglas during the 1860s and 1870s.

 

I think Caesar was looking forward to his cuppa at the end of the walk.

This stone circle is located at "the Chasms" on the South of the Isle of Man just outside of Port St Mary. Not much is known about the stone circle at all.

On the facing headland you will see some bits that look like giant steps cut out of the rock. This is where stone gateposts were cut out for use all across the island.
