Isle Of Wight - Day 5 (Last Day)

This being the last day we had to vacate the hotel and carry all our luggage with us. We decided to visit Ryde which is the boarding point for our ferry and cover all the attractions there. The attractions at Ryde are The Flamingo Park and The Waltzing waters. We started after our last breakfast at our hotel and took a cab to Walzing Waters. After an unforgettable experience we took another cab to The Flamigo park. After the flamingo park we had to take the ferry at 3.30 PM towards home.

The Waltzing Waters is the world's most elaborate water, light and music production. "Its like nothing you've ever seen before"...a triumph of artistry and engineering. Visitors are overwhelmed by thousands of dazzling patterns of moving water synchronised with music in spectacular fashion. This indoor production is an entertainment that one never forgets.

This attraction known as the Flamingo Park has been helping to conserve exotic bird species and wildlife for over 34 years and decided to change the Park's name to better reflect the continual growth and expansion work that is ongoing.

The Park is home to a huge diversity of rare and beautiful birds and animals, not just the famous flamingos and critically endangered Humboldt penguins but has evolved from a bird gardens into a unique wildlife encounter. There are mammal species from around the world where visitors have the chance to meet wallabies and meerkats, a truly incredible experience. You can feed and stroke and learn all about the animals at very close quarters.

The new Tropical House will inspire visitors of all ages. Work to create a tropical oasis in which rare birds and plant species could coexist together with amazing water displays and aquaria started back in the late 1990's. The need to conserve many of the bird and animal speices as well as flora and fauna of islands around the world is the primary aim of this project. Preserving and protecting these island habitats and highlighting the serious plight of such delicate ecosystems is brought to you in this ever-changing scene.

One of the largest tropical aviaries ever built in the UK will astonish and captivate, as you embark upon a journey from coastal regions to tropical forest where a canopy of free flying birds and breathtaking displays awaits you.....

We took the ferry and reached Portsmouth from where we took the train back home and reached home at Galleons Reach by 7.00 PM

This being the last day all our cameras were packed and no photographs were taken.

I hope you all enjoyed reading an account of our holiday at The Isle Of Wight which was very memorable.
