May 8th - Port St Mary,

PORT ST MARY HIKE  Port St Mary, Isle of Man, United Kingdom    

·     Leaving the picturesque, historic fishing harbour at Port St Mary,  join a section of Raad ny Foillan (The Way of The Gull in Manx) coastal path. Raad ny Foillan is 160 kms long and follows the stunning coastline around the Isle of Man. It's route via golden beaches, cliff top footpaths, woodland, farmland and Manx villages affords spectacular scenery and a variety of stunning landscapes.

This was a 4 hour hike that was deemed Extreme so I was a bit worried, but I did fine and would have been at the head of the pack if I did not try to stop so many times to take picture which today was very hard since there was tons of fog.  No rain luckily but waves of fog that covered everything with a haze.  I kept thinking this would be a great place to host a murder mystery event, but alas no dead bodies along the way.

I will try to limit the pics this time but …










This is a lovely seaside town there were even some people in swimming when we came back from the hike.
Bob and I had lunch in town. And had queenies, the local scallop, and a jacket potato with baked beans.  After all of the wonderful food on board I wanted to have just a basic lunch.   It was great.

Sorry Janice we did a horrible job at trivia, we should have teamed up with 2 couples at the next table and we would have dominated.

Tuesday April 30th - Leave for London

  Limo pick us up at noon and we head to YYZ Bags were packed early and we got picked up early by our Blacklane driver.  Quick trip to YYZ.  No lines at all at check in or security so safely in the lounge awaiting our flight.and  Bob found the sweet cart and the bar so we are good. We might even squeeze in a glass of bubbly.  Flights on American Airlines Leaving from Toronto to Charlotte North Carolina at 4:15 pm. This flight was delayed to 5:10 so we did not have much time to make our flight connection in Charlotte, luckily we were at front of the plane and the next gate was only about 15 minutes away.   Luckily had been checked through so Bob was able to have a quick Beer and sing O Canada before the Leaf game started, we have not watched it yet but know they won, all due to the singing in the bar. Flight to London Heathrow was good, lots of room up front.    Had a few bevies and dinner and then a nap.  It was quite bumpy so not much sleep....

May 11th - Tobermory and Duart

Image
  ·          Morning ·          Tobermory,  Scotland, United Kingdom     Due to something about crazy water conditions we had our port changed to Tobermory, which was wonderful.  We did a wonderful hike for about 2 1/2 hours along the coast and then up to the top of the cliff.   Then into town for a quick look around and Bob got a pint, it was only 11 am so too early for me so had a pink lemonade. Bob did buy a tshirt to wear when he goes diving in the Canadian Tobermory.  It was hot almost mid70’s so one man in our group hiked without his shirt on, no pics of this as not something you want to see.      We then had a light lunch on our balcony as we cruise to our next stop for the day the castle listed below. Afternoon ·          DUART CASTLE ·          Duart, Isle of Mull, Hebrid...
