Isle of wet!

What a contrast to yesterday! The rain started in the night and didn’t stop for nearly 12 hours.
So we made the best of it and headed off in the van for a tour of the island. Each time we thought the rain had eased we would get ready and rush out only to get soaked again and retreat back to the dry. For lunch we watched the waves crashing at Sandown and had a picnic in the van. Late afternoon we managed a wander along Gurnard beach; the kids enjoyed messing in the rocks, Anya exploring limpets and Max jumping and climbing on and off a large rock.
Ventnor was a beautiful place, I’d like to go back on a drier day. We didn’t make it to The Needles, will try and get there on a brighter day...
