This morning we drove to Port Erin to catch the steam train to Douglas.

We used our ‘Go Explore’ tickets which allow unlimited travel on all trains and buses for a period of 5 days.

At Douglas station we saw the platform for Isle of Man pupils of Hogwarts.

We visited the Manx Museum before getting the train back to Port Erin.

We had a drive to the southern end of the island, pausing to allow a herd of cows to go past!

A smaller island, the Calf of Man, is situated at the southern tip. More about this later in the week hopefully.

Back at our cottage we had time for a laze in the hot tub before dinner.

More tomorrow,

Carol
