Now the last day has arrived.
Yesterday we went to Ventnor where we had a walk along the promenade and a drink. Lots of people in the sea. We bought crab sandwiches to take away, for lunch.
Moved inland to Godshill where we had booked a table for that evening's final dinner. Found it to be the IoW's most visited destination. An old village with lots of tourist shops. But no parking! At least there was a huge car park which belonged to a complex of shops but it was locked at 6.00 p.m. which was no good for that evening.
Moved back towards the sea and followed the coast on the Military Road to Mottistone where there was a National Trust garden.
Walked round the garden and had a drink before returning to Godshill. Parked in the huge shop carpark and Lynda washed her hair while I explored, looking for somewhere to park after 6.00 p.m. Found a space on an estate, where we had parked earlier, and moved there.
Got changed and went to pub/restaurant.
Had a lovely meal and said our goodbyes to the Martins.
Returned to the site and managed to drive too far, in the dark, onto my ramps! The van slipped off the back and broke the end lip of both ramps - still, no real damage done.
Today we set off home, catching the 12.00 o'clock ferry. We will head for Holme on Spalding Moor before heading home.
