Day 1 and 2
We set off on a wonderful ferry. We could see the water flowing by the sides of the boat. When we got off the ferry, we started out bike ride. At first it was hard and wobbly carrying all of our clothes. It was very hilly and when we got to the first hill, I nearly fell off my bike. But the best thing was when we got to the first campsite, we went to Osborne House we got to go down the hill! At Osborne house we did a trail and had to find lots of letters.
We then went down to queen Victoria's private beach and watched a Punch and Judy show. We then went up to the Swiss Cottage which was built so Queen Victoria's children could learn about how normal people lived. We had a little play in the playground then got our bikes back to the tent. We then walked to the chain ferry across to west Cowes to have fish and chips for tea.
Day 3
We packed up our tent and cycled to the chain ferry with all our bikes and gear. We cycled off the ferry and cycled along the Red Squirrel Trail to Newport. We cycled up a really steep hill to Carisbrooke Castle. In the castle, we looked around the battlements. There were really high walls and deep dungeons. We then went to look at the medieval market where saw a man making bows and arrows and lots of people dressed in medieval costumes. We then went through a little tunnel in the wall to watch a falconry display and after that we watched real jousting! One of the Knights was a lady but her lances kept on snapping.
After the jousting we watched a really funny jester who told mummy off and made everyone boo her when she said we had to go! There was a huge queue to get back through the tunnel and on the other side some people were playing medieval music. On the way out, we went to the shop where Tom and I bought wooden swords and Hannah bought a Diablo. We got the spending money from daddy who dared us to eat a big piece of liquorish!
We got back on our bikes and cycled to the next campsite in Shanklin. We had pasta pesto for tea and then went for a late swim while daddy went to the shops to buy breakfast.
Day 4
We got up very late (7am!) and wrote postcards and then went for another swim.
In the afternoon we walked to the beach at Shanklin and played Pirate Crazy Golf - there was a blood red river and fountain! After we had fish and chips but the fish was really big and none of us could finish it. We took the long lift to the top of the cliff and then walked home in the dark.
Day 5
We woke up really early, had breakfast then got our bikes ready because mummy and daddy told us we were going somewhere for a surprise. We cycled to a donkey sanctuary! We looked at lots of the donkeys, there was a blind one called Poppy and a foal who was only 11 days old. The donkeys were really cute we stroked them for ages. I had a sausage roll for lunch. It was really yummy! After lunch we went to look at the horses. We went to the shop and I bought a toy donkey called Luna. She's adorable and she rattles!
After we cycled back to the tent, we went swimming again then had curry for tea with poppadoms then hot chocolate with some battenburg for pudding. Yummy!
Day 6
We packed up the tent and cycled to the ferry port. It was rainy and I wore my long leggings and waterproof trousers for the first time! It was really hilly today.
