Day 48: Wednesday
Slept in again, then toast and tea for breakfast. Since the rain seemed to be holding off, we decided to walk up to Carisbrooke Castle to explore. It was my first real castle, but it wasn’t intact anymore, so it was more like wandering around the ruins of Rome or Pompeii. I loved the view of the English countryside from the wall and the keep, and we got a demonstration of how the donkey lifted the water out of the well, which was pretty entertaining. After sufficiently exploring the castle, we headed home for lunch, which was sandwiches. After lunched we watched a little of the Tour de France, then headed out to the Needles. It was very windy but the cliffs were very beautiful and very awesome. Afterwards, we went home and had pasta (groooooowl) for dinner. After spending 6 weeks eating nothing but, I feel as though I will never want to eat pasta or pizza or even gelato ever again. After dinner we finished Lost in Austen, then bed.
