<span style="font-family: "Calibri";">Isle of white is 60 miles of
stunning unspoilt scenery and consist wealth of attractions. </span><span style="font-family: "Calibri";">I have been to Isle of Wight more than
few times now. Every time we’ve been there I remember the clean air
and majestic views of nature enveloping good experiences in my heart. The basic
appeal of the island lies in its beautiful climate, lush green hills, and clean
beaches and places to hangout with famil. </span><span style="font-family: "Calibri";">The most convenient way to enjoy
the scenery of isle of white is to have your own transport. Many nearby people
prefer going there on weekends and camping with friends and family. Isle of
white has loads of water sports to offer. Wightlink operates passenger cum car
ferries to Ryde Pier and Fishbourne.</span><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 1em; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Calibri";">We went to this majestic island
by car every time, as we lived in London. We had an amazing experience every
time we visited this place. We usually take the A3055 route from Fishbourne
towards Ryde. Going through Oakfield you then see the ancient town of Brading
which consist of ‘The Lilliput Antique Doll and Toy Museum’. When you move on
you reach to <a href="http://www.isleofwight.com/sandown.html"><span style="color: #0b5394;">Sandown</span></a>. It consists of lovely sandy beach, Pier, restaurant,
clubs, and a Dinosaur Museum.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 1em; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Calibri", "sans-serif";">Moving forward, we then
reach Shanklin, another beautiful town with some really gorgeous natural views.
Just opposite ‘<a href="http://www.miclaran.co.uk/"><span style="color: #0b5394;">The Miclaran Hotel</span></a>’ there is this majestic view of the English
Channel. And a very nice café shop. It was a treat being there. <a href="http://www.shanklinchine.co.uk/"><span style="color: #0b5394;">Shanklin Chine</span></a>
another majestic breath taking places to see. And it is also one of the oldest
tourist attractions of Isle of White. It was opened in 1817. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Calibri";">'<a href="http://www.thegarlicfarm.co.uk/"><span style="color: #0b5394;">The Garlic Farm</span></a>' near Newchurch is
one of the many key attractions of Isle of Wight. It is for the lovers of
garlic and people who like growing their own vegetables. It is free to visit
any time of the year. The farm consists of the gift shop garlic farm, and the
café. And they love selling some red hot chilli sauces as well. Be warned they
are what they say. I mean really very hot sauces. I remember trying one man
what an experience it was. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 1em; text-align: justify;">
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Calibri";"><a href="http://www.godshilliow.info/"><span style="color: #0b5394;">Godshill village</span></a> is another
charming place to see for the tourists. Thatched houses, tea rooms/shops, glass
making shops, and pubs. They all look so beautiful, clean and calm. The Model
Village and the small Toy Museum are the highlights of <a href="http://www.isleofwightattractions.co.uk/Godshill1.htm"><span style="color: #0b5394;">Godshill village</span></a>. '<a href="http://www.modelvillagegodshill.co.uk/"><span style="color: #0b5394;">The Model Village</span></a>' is a great place for the whole family to visit and enjoy the arts
and model works. It consists of the model village of the local sights. And what
a lovely piece of work it is. Absolutely wonderful and I believe lot of work
must have gone into to make such an accurate depiction of the local village. We
thoroughly enjoyed our visit to the model village. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 1em; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Calibri";">Ventnor is another lovely place
to see while moving along A3055. Ventnor is the southernmost holiday
destination of the Island. The climate is mild all year around. Botanical
Gardens is one of the places to visit when you are here, it displays a great
variety of vegetation. Holiday makers get attracted to the lovely sheltered
bay. It consists of a small harbour. There are many eating and drinking establishments.
You just need to grab some drinks and enjoy the gorgeous beach in front of
them. From the high street you can get the hop on hop off buses to see the
islands major towns. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Calibri";">After Ventnor our next stop was
Freshwaters and what a beautiful place it is. We saw the golf club and loved
the walked through the coastal path for a while, enjoyed the nature. Freshwater
is western part of Isle of Wight. It consists of beautiful beaches at
Freshwater Bay, Colwell and Totland. We didn’t had the chance the westerly part
of Isle of Wight which was Alum Bay, as we were running out of time. Before we
headed to <span id="goog_1003167892"></span>Newport<span id="goog_1003167893"></span>, we decided to go to '<a href="http://www.isleofwightholidays.com/carisbrooke_castle.html"><span style="color: #0b5394;">Carisbrooke Castle</span></a>', which was like few
miles away from central <a href="http://www.isleofwight.com/newport.html"><span style="color: #0b5394;">Newport</span></a>. The castle has 7 acres to itself. It is one of
the finest examples of a Norman Castle. Built on a roman site the castle
earthworks were begun in 1070. Inside the castle is Carisbrooke Museum which
provides visitors historical information about the castle. On a family day out children’s
can enjoy dressing up as Norman Soldiers and meeting castle’s famous donkeys. While
for adults, the new Edwardian style Princess Beatrice Garden is a joy and
offers relaxing walk. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Calibri", "sans-serif";">Our next and the final stop
was Newport via A3054 Yarmouth Road. Newport is the major town of the island
and also the main shopping centre. Newport has a market town from where we did
some gifts shopping and loved the whole experience of being on Isle of Wight.
We recalled the places we saw in just 2 days and loved every bit of it.</span></div>

P<span style="font-family: Calibri;">ortobello Market is a world famous Antique market based in Notting Hill, west London. Portobello Market is also well known by Portobello Road. I went there twice, ones alone and ones with my friends. Portobello Road goes straight through the middle of Notting Hill. Notting Hill is also known for the film made their named you guess it right “Notting Hill” staring Hugh Grant and Julia Roberts. The road is very near to the Notting Hill Gate underground tube station. Saturdays get the maximum crowd. The road is filled with Antique shops, food stalls, and vegetable market when you cross the hill. You can expect to see variety of antiques and collectables from all around the world on this road. When I went there, I took one berry smoothy and walked all the way to the “Flea market”. Under the west way you’ll see second hand clothes, books, jewellery.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 1em; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Now let’s dive into the interesting history of Portobello Market Briefly. Portobello was actually a farm. Many of the Antique shops, Pubs are mostly historic. The area of Portobello was originally a farm, named after Puerto Bello in the Caribbean in memory of Admiral Vernon who captured the in the late 1730’s.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;">Tr<span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">avelling
is my hobby, only when I get some time, from my busy work schedule. I enjoy the
company of</span> friends I made and people I met in these places. I couldn’t
forget the times I spent in Covent garden in central London, the place is live
with music performances in the piazza, organic pasty’s, Covent garden Soups,
fruits, confectionaries, and European shops. I still remember the Apple market,
and the cute shops around. Jubilee Market is another awesome market,
specializing in Antiques.</span><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;">The history of Covent Garden Market is a
fascinating <span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">one. It served as a fruit
and vegetable market, one of the biggest in England. It has since transformed
beyond recognition with many fashion labels, theatre, and stores popped up.</span></span><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;">I bought a Winter
Jacket from a well known Brand “The North Face” for £ 160 from the Covent
Garden Showroom. And I must say it is the best purchase I ever did as far as
clothing goes. It’s comfy, durable and looks good on me. I with my friends went
to many good bar and pubs enjoyed the bubbly drinks. Covent Garden has this
unique blend of friendliness, traditional environment, which attracts tourists
in high volumes. </span><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
