Isle Of Man aka: Mannin,Ellan Vannin

I wish this beautiful island could be my second home! I loved everything about it: people, food, places, but most of all – the tt races! We stayed on the course in Glen Vine; we spent four days watching races from all over the Isle. We had a fish-n-chips picnic on the Irish Sea one evening, then explored the tidal pools while the dolphins swam just off-shore. Another day we had scones on the Sound (by the Calf of Man), then hiked along the coastline. I’ll go back every chance I get!

The island is beautiful. J R R Tolkien must’ve been on the Isle when he wrote The Hobbit. GO! Explore! Enjoy!

They have windy roads and no speed limits. I would, however, need to rent a proper sports car.

I love the cats; they are properly cute ^^
The Laxey Wheel was boss too.

To figure out why the cats from here have no tails…

Why else does one go to the Isle of Man, to see the bike racing of course :-)

The Isle of Man is divided into six administrative districts, called sheadings. The six sheadings are Ayre, Glenfaba, Garff, Michael, Rushen and Middle. The sheadings form the basis of some constituencies and each has a Coroner. This office must not be confused with the Coroner for Inquests, a role usually fulfilled by the High Bailiff. A person may fulfil the role of coroner for more than one sheading at the same time.       

Under British law, Mann is not part of the United Kingdom. However, the UK takes care of its external and defence affairs, and retains paramount power to legislate for the Island. The Isle of Man had a dispute with the European Court of Human Rights in the 1970s because it was reluctant to change its laws concerning birching (corporal punishment).          

theres no speed limits on the road! how mad is that?

i heard that the manx folk are ruled by the faries that live under a bridge! and if they don’t say hello to them when they cross the bridge something bad will happen to them

I want to go here so badly, my best friend that I’ve known since grade 2, lives there. She use to live here until grade 6, but we still talk over the net and phone, and ive seen her a couple times since, but i really want to go and visit her, so im planning to do so next summer, but it would be scary to go on a plane for 7 hours, then anoher one to isle of man, and i’d be doing it by myself,which is the scary part of it!!But i wanna do it sooooooooo badly!!!!
