Twice the fun of the IoM

Day 1 - I need a rest

the call came through very early in the morning for people to go to the cars. Maybe it was the beer from the night before, or the rocking of the boat, but things were very slow in the Sayre cabin.
We made the dash to the wrong level, but eventually found the bike.
Of course everybody had done this before and soon the bikes in front were gone and we were holding the others up.
At 6:30 we rolled off the boat and froze. After getting through customs, we repacked the bike and headed out of Davenport for Sheffield where the murals and marbles are. On the way we stopped at the Devils Gate gorge. The peace and quiet was unbelievable.
As sheffield the camera got a work out as we took photos of the heaps of murals. When we can, I'll post some of these up.
The marble place is a must if you are going to Sheffield. We came out with a couple of amazing looking marbles.
We then decided to change the plans and head straight to Launceston, rather than Beaconsfield for a bit of a rest and washing as we were both getting low in the undies department. Finding the accommodation at about 11:00, but the room not ready till 2:00 we had a bit of a walk around Launceston and found the Tasmanian Automobile museum. (photos later)
The rest of the afternoon was spent washing and repacking, and we even managed to send home a large box of stuff we no longer needed.
With the batteries fully recharged, we promised each other to set off early the next day and see the sites we had missed.

Can you guess what happens next??
