We banked the #1 rated tourist attraction in the Isle of Wight for our final day: Osborne House. The holiday villa/home of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert which was pretty idyllic. With a lot of stately home it often feels like your repeatedly asked to marvel at antique furniture in rooms behind velvet ropes, whole that was some of that here, a lot of the house was opened up. But it was the grounds that impressed the most, including a short walk down to a secluded beach. We ate lunch there, all the while on the other of the sea sat Southampton and Portsmouth, a reminder that reality back on the mainland loomed.
We packed our bags when we got back and enjoyed one last night in our accomodation. Rebecca misses our cat, but we'll both lament the end of our time off this time next week.
