Getting into a routine here. Up at the usual time and down for breakfast, where Jake had his regular cooked selection, but was pleased to see a plate of pastries so had a pain au chocolat, as well as pinching a muffin ( blueberry this time) for later.
Along to the arcade on the esplanade, and we did a pretty impressive job of cleaning out the prizes from one of the 2p machines.
Poppa's ferry arrived at the end of the pier just after half past eleven and so we walked along to meet him. I'd forgotten how long Ryde pier is.
We decided that Carisbrooke would be the destination today, and one of our first stops was the cafe for some lunch. Fortified we did the wall walk as well as climbing the steps to the top of the castle.
After Carisbrooke there was enough time for a visit to a crazy golf course, where Poppa triumphed, and then we took Poppa back to the end of the pier, this time by car, and he made his ferry, with almost a whole minute to spare.
Having waved Poppa off we came back to the hotel just long enough to pick up the football and head to the beach for a kick about. Even as it was approaching five, the beach was still very warm.
At Jake's request tea this evening was at KFC, and we carried on up the hill for our after dinner stroll. Now back and in front of Britain's Got Talent.
Funny how we settle into a routine - cooked beeline, trip out (likely to include some or all of arcades, crazy golf and ice cream), game of foot on the beach, tea, stroll, home for TV before bed.
All change tomorrow as we have to pack up and ship out.
