Okay, I have been thinking about posting this, and now seems a good time. I am not in a position to travel, and I haven't found a lot of travel videos all that interesting, I guess. However, I can't get enough of YOUR videos. I watch them all the way through, and I learn so much about what is out there. I can't tell you how much I appreciate you.

I lived in Maryland for a number of years and did not know it at the time. So much rich history there. Sadly, I’ll never be able to return there to Maryland or The Isle to investigate.

As somebody from the north east of England, may I just say that the most important thing about the Isle of wight... Is the Rainbow Chippy But I do have another memory. My friend and I were touring the 3 towns on the south east, probably Shanklin, we had stopped for an iced lolly. we sat beside a minature golf course, where a 3 year old lass was having a day out with her 4 grandparents. this kid swung the golf club, not even looking, and the ball shot down the green, bounced off three sides, and scored a hole in one. My pal and i cheered, the grandparents cheered, passing seagulls did a Mexican wave. All while the girl looked bewildered. it was adorable.

You're absolutely right about just how beautiful the island is. I'm lucky enough to live here, and you will actually see me enjoying the sun at Colwell Bay on my mobility scooter (video marker 6:53). When the South Coast of England is cloudy or raining we here in the West Wight side of the Island are often in sunshine, that happens so often it's strange.

As someone who visits the island regularly this is a great video. Haven Hall is a fantastic place I've been lucky enough to stay there a few times. Yes it's not the cheapest but you get what you pay for in life. The owners are great people, with the right balance of engaging and chatting if you want or completely leaving you to your own devices for privacy. It's their refurbished amazing dream home and they're happy to share it with you (and yes for a fair price helps keep up the maintenance of this lovely residence). If you want a high-end relaxing peaceful holiday in an amazing location on the Isle of Wight this is the spot.

As soon a security found out, not only did they call up the ferry company and told them to wait but drove us especially to the ferry dock. Should have seen the looks of the passengers as we walked up the car ramp with our guitars on our backs while the security waved at the pilot of the feery to say that he could now leave.

[@JohnSmith-zh4di]

I guess someone has to be negative as well as gushing positives. Having lived on the island for many years I will say you show the absolute best and have done well for the tourist board... But... lets be honest, £1300 for two night B&B, £50 for half a lobster, doesn't sound like the average tourist. Let's not also forget the extortionate ferry cost of around £300 return for a car (at the time you travelled) to around £600 for a period return in the summer. You may only see a subsidised travel cost handed out to punters and don't see the real cost to islanders who may want to escape the island to visit family in the summer. Finally, The Hut at Colwell Bay. There is no way you would be welcome to turn up for just coffee during the day. They take bookings only and the average cost for a meal is literally in the hundreds. They must have liked the Go-Pro or you are friends with the owner. The Hut is universally disliked locally owing to them creating what was a family friendly beach area into a drunken, high end boaty concern. Check out the drunk "mariner" who's boat is still marooned at Totland...

[@janelithgow7727]

Especially as you have to walk past the Captain's Cabin, a really nice, normally priced beach cafe with great views to get to the Hut.

I'd walk frequently from my front door to both Colwell and Freshwater Bay, and I started learning to drive on the Military road that traverses the incredible cliffs on the south coast. That being said, it is an expensive place to live, and their is quite the disparity across the Island from a financial perspective that still exists. The Yarmouth to Lymington Ferry is also practically the most expensive in the world per mile, which is absolutely insane for a 30 minute crossing. Great video, really enjoyed it.
