Back to the Mainland

After a short drive to the mainland it's time to get back on the ferry for the journey home to the "north island" as we call it...

It's a crossing to on the mainland, and an ideal opportunity for everyone to eat a packed lunch before the onward journey




The Journey Home

Back on the coach and now it's just a simple case of zipping up the motorway and back to school

The homeward journey should be a lot quieter than the drive down - hopefully everyone will be exhausted from having a great time here on the Isle of Wight and full of precious memories

Again, toilet stops will be taken as necessary
