Adventures of ReenRah: Isle of Mann

Part 2

After a day of travelling from Birmingham to the Isle of Mann airport to see our friend Izz, we reached her apartment we were very tired and decided to rest. But before long, the desire to take photos overcame our weariness, so we reached a comprimise: I (Rah) would take photos out of the open windows of the apartment. The view was spectacular, and it’s strange to think that all of these photos below were taken out of a single window.

Since we were staying in Port St Mary, which is a village with a small harbour, there were many small boats dotted around.

Bobbing gently in the waves or resting quietly on the sandy shore, it was refreshing to be surrounded by so many boats and the sea, since we’re so used to an ugly backdrop of cement and buildings. Yes, sadly we are city kids.

From our third floor apartment, we could see an assortment of birds, settled on rooftops and lamp posts. A chilled out jackdaw was our closest neighbour, sitting on an chimney, casually surveying the area. It was a little wary of us: a couple of girls sticking a big camera out of a nearby window, but he was clearly too comfy to really move.

The houses around us were pretty adorable too. The whole village was a cute collection of higgledy-piggledy houses, all with their own characters, looking out to the sea.
