Saturday 28th July - Guest Blogger John D.

What a fun packed day we have had today.
Up early, a bus ride to Douglas, a steam train trip south to Port Erin, steam train back to Douglas, a horse drawn tram along the promenade, a worlds oldest electric tram to Laxy, electric mountain railway to Snaefell.
Snaefell is the highest point on the island the visibility was fine and the views stunning. The first photo shows Peter taking all the views.
Back on the electric train to Ramsey then bus back to Peel harbour Phew!
But the real high spot was a guided tour of Electrical sub station that supplies the trains at Laxey, they showed us an atomic fusion reactor that they use to power the trains. I nearly wet myself....
