I had a very friendly taxi driver from the airport to the hotel, he’s originally a Sheffield man, but has become a local to the Isle of Man for the last 18 years.  He told me a bit about the place and gave me a very handy little guidebook, which was very nice. 

As I am here for work and flying back home at 5ish on Thursday, there isn’t much time for seeing the Island, but I’m hoping to do a little bit of photography tomorrow afternoon/evening depending on how early I can get out of the office.  I’ve brought the new flash gun with me, so even if the light is poor I might be able to get some nice shots.

Anyway, my room service has just arrived, so this is Wealie signing off from the Isle of Man and wondering exactly how expensive Data Roaming is here for the Iphone, ’cause this hotel internet connection is soooooooooooooooooooo slow!

Take care friends, catch you on the flip side.
