Day 6: Island Breezer No.2!

You have probably seen this dress before if you have had a look at past posts, but today I wore the dress I got second hand from one of my friends and my new red pumps my lovely nan got me. So today, our close friends Jo and her son Elliott, AKA Fashion Detective, the creator of the blog: http://www.fashiondetective.co.uk/ came over on the ferry to join us for our last full day :( and stay the night, so we decided to take them on the open top bus, the Island Breezer. We stopped at a nice pub for lunch and went to Ryde beach for a swim and a paddle!

The boys playing in the garden!

Enjoying the bus ride.

The awesome mums rocking the Island Breezer :)

The really nice pub we stopped at for lunch, The Hare and Hounds, Robin Hill.

After our very enjoyable lunch, we had a relaxing beach evening with the boys swimming, but us ladies just paddled!

Loving the paddling!

The rolling waves...

Again you can see the Spinnaker Tower, Portsmouth.

And to end with, I just had to take a picture of Jo's outfit as I loved it so much. The awesome cowboy boots are from Kurt Geiger and the dress, Topshop.                  .

Day 2: Island Breezer!

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:

A random lake on the way to Arreton.

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!

The cafe from outside.

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 :)
