Isle of Wight

When Alison said in the morning that there is a lot of countryside and not many factories on the island so a lot of unemployment, I thought well who would want to live on a small island with factories. I had no idea how big the island was going to be. Luckily our coach bus was taken onto the island because once you're on the island you forget its an island its so big. The coastline is beautiful, with white cliffs and no fencing to keep you from walking right off it. The countryside seems so pure, like it is cut off from the real modern day world, and the thatched roof houses were like out of a cartoon. I was so surprised that such a beautiful place has stayed so authentic and that there is not construction going on around everywhere. It was also like being on a safari, seeing all kinds of animals from llamas to pheasants to oddly colored cows. I think the island was my favorite part of the trip, along with Corinne trying to say into the microphone "Look at this magnificent castle we're about to visit" as Christine is mumbling "What are those ruins over there?".
