Isle of Wight

The ice on my shoe!!nice wet socks, nice wet shoes!
The place we stayed!!The band is always full of crazy kids!

Just come back from a weekend away in the Isle of Wight which is just off the coast from Portsmouth. It was UPCU weekend away (university of portsmouth christian union). We went over on a hovercraft friday night. It was a really nice weekend. Met loads of people which was really fun.
Went for a bit of a 'walkabout' on the island, stumbled across a dead whale!Sophie and I went for a wonder while most other people had a mud fight and saw it beached just down the road from where we were staying. It made the news!Smelt so bad. I don't think whales are exactly common in these parts. I kept telling them a whale alive and kicking is much more interesting. We went back down to the beach about 12am on saturday night with 2 shirts a jumper a vest a jacket and the longest scarf you've ever seen (my fav thanks ma) never EVER have I worn so much to the beach!a fisherman fella- kinda like the old lady who looks like a man of going round the twist (the old abc program). anyway i saw he was like a ghost or something. came and told us that it died of natural causes and they dumped it here coz they weren't sure where to put it and were waiting for the ok to dump it in international waters...anyway turns out he was all wrong. and that was kinda obvious by the massive marks on the poor thing. suspect!
a few of us were trying to touch it- yes sounds nasty but out of curiousity it has to be done! I was almost there and then the police came and told us to leave! friendly police around there! So pictionary it was back at base!


My funniest memory, since i got to England and probly till i leave- would have to have occured this weekend. All the girls got together and did the whole' what's your name' and...wait for it....your favorite neighbours character! apart from that being disturbing in itself everyone kept saying Karl Kenedy...crazy kids!I was told that everyone in Australia has a ute, chooks and everyones name is shane...close?
i will put photos up asap.
