Visit to Isle of Wight

Needles Beach

Its summer time, going to beach is a good idea and it became best when we have group of friends with us.

My friends had planned to visit Isle of Wight, I wondered what is the plan, how we will reach there and hit the spots.

We have booked the tickets with a Lady Guide (Daksha Ben), she charged £35 per person which includes travel cost only.



Its Saturday morning we started by 7:00 AM from Hounslow central in a coach which can accommodate nearly 50 people. Then after travelling for an hour or so, we reached to a port, our coach is placed on the fairy and we went to deck, enjoyed the weather luckily it was a sunny day.

After travelling for an hour in fairy we again have to board the bus and travel to the first spot of Isle of Wight, which is The Needles beach. We have 1 hour 30 mins time to spend here and move to coach by 1:15PM.

Things to visit here are:
1. Glass Factory
2. Candy Factory &
3. The Needles beach

We decided to start with Needles beach.

The first and most amazing experience of the trip is to board the world famous Needles chairlift, which transports us from the cliff-top above Alum Bay down to the beach below. The beach is very beautiful, we went into the water it was chilling when the waves are hitting us but such a wow feeling  it was. We had our lunch their which we have carried along. Then we did a photo session on the beach some selfies and lots of fun. By the time we realised its already 1:10PM, then we rushed back to chairlift which dropped us to cliff top. And then we moved to the coach, we didn't go to see the glass and candy factory as the beach was so amazing.

Again we boarded the bus and travelled to the pearl factory. It has amazing collection of pearls and its ornaments. Also, there is a beautiful scenic sea view behind the pearl factory.

From there we left for the Shanklin Beach, there we have got 3 hours to spend which is too much for this beach as it was not that much beautiful as the Needles was. So, we just went into a game shop, did bowling with mini bowls and played hand hockey and other games as well. It was fun with friends. Then we hit the beach and their we relived childhood memories of playing with sand. And also went into the water, touch the waves and clicked photos.

At 6:30PM we have left from there to catch the fairy again, went into the coach reached the fairy. We had our dinner in the fairy itself. Finally after an hour or so, boarded the coach to travel back to home. Most the people were sleeping in the bus, however me and my friends have played damsharas.

Reached Hounslow at 10:30PM. From there I have travelled back to home, one of my friend dropped me till my studio at Hammersmith.

Overall it was an amazing experience. Really want to thank all of my friend who made this trip memorable for me.
