Douglas Isle of Man
Some fine buildings along Douglas sea front.
After riding a bike all day we are off for a walk round town. No doubt with the bikes parked up for the day . We will be having a couple of Beers Just round the corner of this clock is a irish bar and we are going to call in to learn a bit of Irish ------ Two Guinness Please I am shure that is Queen Victoria's head on that clock Still lots of bikers over here and the TT is not for a couple of weeks yet ,well that was then i think it has passed now. enjoy
