After departures this morning, we travel by road to Heysham, where we board our ferry to Douglas, the Isle of Man's capital. Upon our arrival on the island, we head to our hotel.

Good Friday

Today, we enjoy a tour exploring the southern half of the Isle of Man. Our first stop will be Castletown, the island's original capital, which dates back to the eleventh century. Castle Rushen, one of the best-preserved medieval castles in Europe and built for a Viking king, still dominates the town today. After some time here, we travel via pretty Port St. Mary and Port Erin to picturesque Peel. Home to sandy beaches, a natural harbour and the Viking-built Peel Castle, this coastal town is rich in Celtic and Norse history; don't forget to try the local delicacy, Manx Kippers!
