First day:
We drove to Portsmouth and when we got there we parked on somebody's drive and we got the bikes off the top of the car and put the panniers on the bikes. We cycled to to ferry. We had to wait to wait for another one to come and we got to cycle onto the ferry and were the first people on. Me, Hannah and Emily rushed to the top of the boat to look out of the side. When we started up it was quite a bumpy journey. It took about half an hour to get there. We were the first to get off and cycled on the road. We went up and down hills. The order was daddy, me, Emily, Hannah and mummy. It was quite tiring with all the up hills but we had all the downs as well and plenty of jelly babies. When we arrived at the campsite I thought it was all tents but actually there were lots of holiday houses. The lady put us in her back garden by ourselves, but there was a boat and a playground.
Day 2:
We cycled to Osbourne House. The lady gave us a trail to do and we had to find letters in the different rooms which spelt a word which gave the final clue, which was queen Victoria's black gloves under a lamp.
We went out of the house and got on a bus to queen Victoria's private beach and watched a Punch and Judy show. Afterwards we went to the Swiss Cottage which was queen Victoria's children's playhouse. The boys had a fort to play in and we made a new friend in the playground. Then we cycled back to the tent, had a quick dip in the pool and went on the chain ferry to a restaurant called The Globe for tea. I had a mini burger, some lettuce and lots of chips, but we weren't allowed up on the roof because it was over 18s only. We then got back on the chain ferry and went to bed really late!
Day 3:
We packed up and got on our bikes and cycled to Carisbrooke Castle. We told a man to guard our bikes and climbed up 70 steps to walk on the battlements. We looked down a well, it was about 120 feet down. We looked at the medieval market where there was wool, bows and arrows and other stuff that taught us how people in medieval times lived. Then we watched a falconart display. The lady asked someone to take their dog inside the tent so the hawk wouldn't crush the dogs scull! I volunteered to put my arm out to have a bird fly to it, but I didn't get chosen. Next there was the jousting. I voted for 'good', but evil won! There was a lady knight and she had a really feisty horse! Mummy, Emily and Hannah stayed at the arena to watch a jester, daddy and I had a go at shooting a crossbow. I got 4 goes, it was really hard and I only hit the target on the first time. 2 men and 1 lady came and played some medieval music on strange instruments that looked like bagpipes and a guitar while I sat on a canon! Then me Hannah and Emily went to the shops and bought a think each. Emily and I bought swords and Hannah bought a diabolo. Then we went back on our bikes, went down the hill and to the campsite. Daddy and mummy put up the tent while we explored the campsite. There was a swimming pool, a games room and a tv room. After tea we went for a late night swim.
Day 4:
First we went to the swimming pool for a long, long time. When I got out I made friends with 3 boys. We played lots of games and went on the see-saw. Then I went out with daddy to get shopping for lunch. It was really hot with a little breeze. After lunch I went in the pool again then we walked Shanklin and played crazy golf. Hannah won a free game but we couldn't use it because we didn't have time. I liked golf, but it was quite hard. After golf we had fish and chips and walked home in the darkness.
Day 5:
We cycled to the donkey sanctuary and we saw lots of donkeys and horses. I had a pasty for lunch and I loved it. We went into the shop and I bought a Lego tractor. When had finished, we went back to our bikes and cycled home. We went for a swim and had curry for tea.
Day 6:
We packed up the tent and cycled to the ferry. We were the last to get on the ferry and we watched the ferry leave the Isle of Wight. When we got to Portsmouth we cycled to the car, packed it and drove home.
THE END
