We had no cash and no food on Saturday morning so we spent the first part of the day finding a cash machine and supermarket. Dinosaur Isle was just down the road in Sandown so after breakfast we navigated the narrow streets to find the attraction. Adam was quite “underwhelmed” by it but Reid thought it as pretty cool. It certainly pushed all the right buttons as far as modern interpretation and interactivity went. It was reasonably small but only thirteen pounds for a family pass so pretty good value for money – it’s a pity that the ferry ride to the Isle cost fifty four pounds return!
After a late lunch we headed back to Yarmouth to catch the return ferry via the south coast road – the road quickly deteriorated into a very narrow “track” and were forced to re-think our route and return via Newport where the roads are at least nearly one normal lane wide. After the half hour ferry ride to Lymington we tried to find our way to a campground in a forest near Wareham. Unfortunately it got dark sooner than we expected because it took so long to pick our way through the traffic and tiny roads and we lost our way. Luckily a kind gentleman set us on the right track to another campground and after an hour of shagging about in the dark we finally settled in for dinner. The drive was a shocker – and we’ve concluded that England is no place for a campervan unless you know exactly where you’re going and you intend to stay put for a decent length of time.
