In 1978 my parents took me to the Isle of Man. My sister lived on the island, so we stayed at her house. My parents stayed for a week, but I stayed for two weeks. At that time I was fifteen years old, so it was kind of an adventure.
I liked different kinds of transport, so I looked for some interesting and unusual things to ride. On the Isle of Man there are a lot of special kinds of transport. I rode a horse drawn tram and a very old electric tram. They were really fun. After I road a mountain railway to the top of the islands highest mountain. On a good day from the top of the mountain you can see England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland, but on this day the weather was not so good, but it was still fun. I also rode a small steam train.
There are many wonderful things to see on the Isle of Man, for example the worlds Largest water wheel. I really like ships so my journey home was wonderful. For four hours I rode the ferry from the Isle of Man to Liverpool. This trip was a wonderful adventure.
