Island pictures: part 2

Awoke to a misty morning and set out towards castletown. Our first stop of the morning was at the Fairy Bridge,

where superstition says that you must greet the fairies when crossing the fairy bridge - it is supposedly unlucky not to.


We went one step further, in the junk shop the night before we each picked a small gift fot the fairies, and left it on the tree.


before continuing on to Casltetown

The stunning views at the Sound, Lands end of Man... here you can see the shores of Ireland in the distance

The Calf of Man

The Myrell Stone circle

Crazy garden full of painted trees, and all sorts of knick knacks.
