Ireland 2024 – Day 14

Misty mountains, that summarice today’s activities. Based on the earlier weather forecast, the weather today should be better than yesterday. However, the weather gods decided differently. It was cloudy and windy in Douglas. As we embarked on the train from Laxey up to Mount Snefell the weather detoriated. There was a dense fog/low cloud over the mountain. The prerecorded guide told us about various views. Which got the whole train laughing. We could hardly see the ground next to the train!

After a light lunch at the top station, the weather got worse and the rain poured down. Even the train cars were leaking.

Once we got down to Laxey, the rain stopped. We decided to walk to the waterwheel while we were there.

We took the tram back to Douglas and did some shopping. A cap, a t-shirt and some stickers as memories of being at Isle of Man.

We opted for an indoor seat back to Douglas

We had dinner at the Terminus tavern, which was good. Now we need to go and pack our stuff and get ready for an early ferry to England tomorrow morning.

A nice curry with chicken
