 Notes from a smaller island - Zero
To steal liberally from Mr.Bryson

Me, Idris, and the two dawgs are on the Isle of Wight in the Crossover Camping Vehicle, dang it's hot been in the sea every day, but at least we have moved the young dawg on from panicked doggy paddle to smooth otter ( in bits) like her older aunty.

Easy transition over on Red Funnel from Southampton, after dragging the CCV through some Back streets due to blocked roads. The Ferry has a dog lounge so everyone catered for

Never really done the Island other than sailing to the north coast, getting P***ed, and sailing dangerously back

Deeply impressed, Am near Ryde and Ryde is really nice, Ok Sandown and Ventnor are v rough in parts, but loving the rest Unique mix of Victorian Architecture with an Italianate bent.

Had fresh dressed crab salad on a floating dock in Bembridge Harbour, superb but 16 quid each GULP!!!!

Two points of interest, the roads must be the smoothest in the UK, even when dug up they put them back smoooooth

The mobile data coverage is appallng, move the phone around 4 inches and you go from 4g to nothing via Edge and 3G
