A nostalgic train ride


 On a beautiful sunny day, Christine and I decided to take the historic steam train from Port Erin to the capital of Douglas.

Our steam engine 

Our Carriage


The views from the window were picturesque




Once we arrived in Douglas, 
we strolled the quay looking for a place for lunch.

Look, we found another wallaby

We found a lovely seafood restaurant called Little Fish cafe.
We sat at  a table outside and ordered our drinks.  We were so happy to have found an outside table overlooking all the boats until we saw a seagull swoop down and help himself to the salad a  man was eating next to us. On to plan B...move inside!
We both ordered 'queenies', which are small scallops found only in IOM waters.  Mine were in a po' boy sandwich and Christine's was in cream sauce....yummo!!


It was a great day...more fun tomorrow.
