 The Wonders of the Isle of Wight  First stop the Needles where we marvelled at the beautiful views, went to the craft shop and  filled varied shapes with coloured sand from Alum Bay itself!  Then we headed along the west coast to visit the picturesque village of Godshill with quaint little shops and model village.  We hit the road and headed south to Havenstreet where we took a steam train ride through the countryside. We visited the Train Story Museum, the Isle Of Wight's newest attraction. We had a terrific time playing ten pin bowling. Competitive but friendly spirits were high and some smashing scores were made!   Back at the hotel we had great fun taking part in a few groups games. We especially liked the horse racing games and also learned how to dance the rumba too!  Our evenings were packed full of fun and laughter.  Every night we watched different entertainment shows with a lot of singing and dancing!  ...

There are 4...

We especially enjoyed the flying carpets where we flew through the sky circling giant genie lamp !   We watched a behind the scenes car stunt show, it was spectacular with plenty of skidding, swerving and jumping. They even flew through fire! During our stay we met our favourite characters and we were so delighted to have them sign our autograph books.  We also posed for...
