Day 2 of our time in the Isle of Wight! Firstly, here is my outfit of the day, a lovely hand me down from Fashion Detective, http://www.fashiondetective.co.uk/ and my Converse. Now, today we used our weekly bus pass thing to go on the Island Breezer, an open top bus, very much like the ones in London, to have a tour around the island. We got on the chain ferry again off to West Cowes, and from there got the bus to Ryde. Then we got on the Island Breezer and stopped at a few stops. The first of which was Arreton Village, a small village with an arts and crafts centre. It had a few workshops and a nice cafe. Here is the day in pics:

My brother and me posing next to a model of a pirate ship and pirates, as there was a maritime museum.
YUM! The cafe I mentioned above came in handy for a quick snack! Homemade victoria sponge and coffee, just what we needed!

A view I just wanted to take from the bus.
Someone get me out!! LOL!
After the village, we stopped off at Rosemary Vineyard, Ryde, where they make wine, cider and apple juice. It was actually a great place, even if you aren't old enough to drink alcohol! :P We had a tour guide to show us around the production areas, where they press the wine grapes and then a tasting session. Afterwards we had a wander through the vineyards.
A few wine souvenirs!
The big machines that mix the grapes and press them.
Thats a whole lot of wine bottles!
The field full of different sorts of grapes for the wine.
An old fashioned plough.
The last thing we did of the day was to stop off at Sandown, the beach! This is the pier we had a look on.
What a lovely day!
This was the lovely restaurant we had our lunch in, right on the sea front!
It was too cold to actually swim in the sea, but on the way back we had a little paddle :)
