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

At Douglas station we saw the platform for Isle of Man pupils of Hogwarts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We visited the Manx Museum before getting the train back to Port Erin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We had a drive to the southern end of the island, pausing to allow a herd of cows to go past!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A smaller island, the Calf of Man, is situated at the southern tip. More about this later in the week hopefully.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
