Travel : Isle of Wight #2016

Hey everyone,

Welcome back!

I figured it's time to update you all on my adventure on the Isle of Wight. Have you been there? If you haven't , well - it's part of England & it's located an hour away from Southampton through a ferry across the channel.

It's an island that has beautiful beaches as well as the balance of wonderful countryside , with a population of 140,000 people.

Tbh, it's a wonderful place to visit on holiday - the island thrives on tourist each year especially during the summer months. So if you're nearby, definitely check it out.

Here are some my of tips & tricks for getting around the island & best places to see :)

Travelling there : Southampton [ Red Funnel Car Ferry (45 mins) / Red Jet High Speed Service (25 mins) ]

Portsmouth [ Car Ferry (45 mins) / Hovercraft (10 mins) ]

3.) Olivo, Newport

4.) The Bandstand , Sandown

5.) The Gossips Cafe, Yarmouth.

In terms of food, there's quite a number of places to eat depending on what you're into but my favourite ultimate place for environment & food has got to be The Waterfront, Freshwater . When the weather is great & clear, the views are stunning and food are not too bad either.

Anyways, let's get right into it.

In terms of places to visit, if you're into nature - there's loads of walks to do & if you're into photography, landscape photography is pretty great especially during sunset periods. However, it is an island so bear in mind - if you're into city lifestyle (i.e nightlife) , there isn't much to do in that perspective.

Here are some of my pictures that I've taken whilst on my trip there.

Hope you enjoy ~
