Last day in IOM

It's the last day in IOM, the weather is only slightly better than yesterday, but it is still very very foggy. I wouldn't be able to see anything across the road. Anyways, we started off with the electric railway, which it will bring us to Laxey, Ramsey and to the connection to the mountain railway.

Our 1st stop is going to Laxey and change to the connection mountain railway to Sneafell. This is the highest point of the island with 2039 feet. The only problem we had on that day was heavy fog, therefore I wouldn't be able to see anything from that mountain top. Many will say that you will be able to see the coasts of Ireland, Wales, Scotland and England on the clear day, but I would wonder how many clear day you can have in such place, since I've read the guestbook, I just couldn't see a lot of people say great view, mainly is saying about the mist and heavy fog....

The 2nd stop is Ramsey, we have to take the Sneafell mountain railway and went back to Laxey and continue the journey by electric railway to Ramsey. I wouldn't say that there are anything too interesting in Ramsey, all I can say was it is a very quiet place, everything seems to be moving slowing, the "take it easy" attitude. We didn't spend a lot of time in there and moved on to our final stop - Laxey.

Laxey has one of the most famous attraction - 'Lady Isabella' Water Wheel, it is a huge water wheel that pump water, it is still the world's largest wheel. We went up to the top of the wheel, but the only thing was I am absolutely scared of height, wouldn't be able to walk further once I'm at the top, so which means I wouldn't be able to see how the top of the wheel. But what I've heard was it is great, just unfortunate that I couldn't experience this. The Laxey Mine is part of this attraction, but because of the time, we weren't able to go and visit the mine, as it is all closed. However, I hope next time if I have the chance to visit, I would be able to go and have a look at it, I'm sure it will be interesting.

After Laxey, its time to head back to Douglas, as we are leaving IOM in the evening. We had a quick dinner in the Turkish restaurant near the sea terminal. Something really strange, or I think it is me. The weather started to be great when we were in Laxey, the sun is coming out and it was so much warmer. I just can't understand, we had great weather when we arrived and great one when we are about to leave. Anyways, I think it is me or it could be just the british weather.

The highlight of the day was the electric and mountain railway with great scenary (if without the fog)
