Isle of Wight

Posted by MargC2k8 17 August 2009

My favourite ferry journey in Europe has to be the car ferry to the Isle of Wight.

I have spent many happy holidays on the Isle of Wight and think that it has to be one of the most under-rated places around. There is lots to do and see. From the Zoo to the Needles, the model village or just sitting having a quiet drink in one of the many pubs and watching all the yachts go sailing by. The ferry journey is only a relatively short trip, but it gets the holiday off to a relaxing start.
