We left Liverpool this morning on the Isle of Man Steam Packet Company catamaran.

We arrived in Douglas two and three quarters of an hour later after a very smooth crossing.

We drove across the island to Peel and had a look round before heading to our barn conversion cottage near the little village of Patrick.

After a fish and chip supper, overlooking the sea, we walked round the outside of the castle.

Bye for now, more to come tomorrow
