We flew to the Isle of Mann on Tues afternoon. This is our Hotel in Douglas. It was was first class all the way!
We were able to get moved to an inside room after the first night! Our orignial room overlooked the ocean...nice...and a noisy Carnival that was set up all along the Promenade durning the TT party!
Bette was relieved not to have to listen to the 'Ooom Pah Pah' music of the Carnival for a second night!
Several blocks of downtown Douglas are a Pedestrian Mall. Very nice....
Imagine motorcycles airborne over this bridge and braking hard from 100 mph for the next corner...
Ian, Bette, Gil, Moe, Jay, Mark, Hannah and Dave -- from left to right!
Portrait of hungry tourists!
The trolly on Main Street was still drawn by horse...
He just can't resist picking up a broom when he sees one...
We toured the whole course by van and made several stops.
The Paddock was busy with souvineer stands and rich in opportunity to meet riders and see their bikes close-up.
Bikers arrive from all over Europe. Not a Harley or Cruiser to be seen. And all riders in motion are wearing Leathers, Boots, Gloves and Helmets. Vivre la difference..!
This is the train we rode to the Bungalow near the summit of Snaefell Mountain!
Superbike race from the top of the Mountain section.
Up close and personel....
Turn in by entrance to museum.
Drive out of museum corner....
They call the monkey a passenger....much too passive a term if you ask me!

Lots of great places to watch from at the Bungalow stop of the Snaefell Mountain Railroad!
The very top of Snaefell Mountain!
