And after Carisbrooke Castle 
(or Osborne House if you were in the other group)
the afternoon was on Shanklin Beach 
- time for some imaginative work with sand

There was a further encounter with water the following morning when we all 
(yes, together this time) went rock pooling at Freshwater Bay.
Just look at that blue sky!

Lunch was by Fort Victoria with a visit to the aquarium after.
