Imogen, at 16:37 to the left (South) is the Calf of Man with Kitterland between it and the mainland. You were at the tip of the mainland - where you noticed the Thousla Cross and choppy sea currents, as noted by you in the next video
At 17:15 is a black limestone/marble quarry (Pooil CVaaish). The original steps of St Paul's Cathedral used this material. We used it on our family home and it is interestingly very non-slip in when wet.
At 17:21 you briefly get a glimpse of the rather well preserved limestone castle in Castletown. You caught this on your next video. We would have driven right past but there was the inevitable roadworks diversions. However, that allowed us to ravel through some narrow streets, which I suppose in itself gave a flavour of Castletown aside from its magnificent castle.
At 17:32 the castley thing is King William's College. I just thought I'd say that as it is distinct from the caste itself, which is in the middle of the town as my previous post.
Omg 😆 I love how you always have food of some sort. Your ideal to be a travel companion, stuff I never think of then get ripped off at some “pumpkin cafe” at a train station. 😢. The banging @ about 14:42 is simply the nose wheel going over the runways lights, like cats eyes on the road.
Ooooh Your trouser press reaction at 20:32 is totally giving me Miranda vibes from her "Thailand" hotel 😂 (I'm sure I remember you watching Miranda with Izzy a while back?) Xx
05:08 Oh crikey, I was hanging on every word! One of the reasons why its never a bad thing leaving mega early! 08:32 the words of calm from IB! Its still nail biting stuff though...
Looks a great boozy musical weekend. I hear and feel your anxiety at being late for the airport. I hate being late getting to anywhere. Enjoy the trip x
I literally thought I was the only squirrel in the world and thought I was just a paranoid food nut!! It's such a fear of mine to be hungry without as you say "instant access to food" lol
That purple umbrella was just useless in the wind. I bought a heavy-duty umbrella because the flimsy ones all did that. But for travel, you sure don't want too much weight. Would a thin raincoat be handy? Glad you did get there at long last.
LOL. You are like my father in-law, he likes to be at the airport many hours before the flight. I like to be there 30 minutes :P And I have never missed a flight in my life.
oh I've always wanted to go to the Isle of man to watch the Isle of Man TT, it's been on my bucket list for a while, just haven't had a chance to do it :(
Oh man... that umbrella would have been tossed into the air.. I just don't have patience for that crap.. hahaha.. especially when my stress and anxiety are on high alert. Whew... you made it on to the plane!. I don't think I could sit beside you on a plane.. **oh blimey, I don't like the sound of that banging** ... **are the wings supposed to do that** .. That would have set me off.. lmaooooo. I am so not a flier. Why do pilots have to mention how high we are? I don't need to know how far I will fall.. ha Loved the song at the end. Thanks!
Sounds like a very stressful travel day imo!! I'd be very anxious too i hate cutting it fine heading to the airport and yet my friend hates hanging about at the airport so we always have to compromise 🤣 Glad you arrived safely!
No shuttle bus? OMG! Annnnnnndddddd then after all that, the plane is delayed! We had that at Heathrow, desperately getting there, suffering our way through security, only to find the plane was delayed! Travelling definitely comes with some stress attached!
Oooh, excited to see more of the Isle of Man, never been. Glad you arrived safely in the end 😄 Quick question Imo - I know you love everything Portuguese, have you been to Madeira? We're thinking of going next year. Looks beautiful but I don't think I know anyone who's holidayed there x 🤔
Imo!! Urgent message from my daughter...she worked last summer in hotels as a chamber maid...she told me...ALWAYS wash out the cups that are left to be used for tea and coffee making...apparently, chamber maids are given a VERY limited amount of time to clean rooms...this means that as the cleaners rush from job to job,,,the cloth that is used to clean the bathroom... well...it gets used to clean the rest of the room...including the cups...eew...but true!!!
When I took the train from London to Liverpool a few years ago my train was held up by a truck hitting a bridge up ahead, I guess trucks hitting bridges is a common thing there
Thanks for sharing. Being late to the airport can be so stressful. May I make a suggestion? How about having a several seconds outro like other channels? That way I have time to actually reach the 'Like' button when you ask me ;)
Thanks James. I keep my outros short, as people tend to click off as soon as they twig the video's ending and it negatively impacts retention, which reduces the amount of times the video is put in front of viewers to watch (it's an algorithm thing). But the like button can be clicked at any time throughout the video, and it sounds to me as if you have autoplay enabled. I have mine disabled. I don't know if you're watching on a laptop or a phone? If it's on a laptop, the autoplay function button is in the play bar next to the closed captions icon. If it's showing a triangle, it's activated, but you can click on it to switch it off and then in shows the pause symbol. I have mine deactivated all the time as I like to comment on videos and don't want it to autoplay the next lined up video while I'm trying to do this! :)
@@PlanetImo Ah sounds like you are way on top of this already. As you were interested I do indeed use Autoplay. I also watch primarily on TV which is even more difficult to locate the Like button with the remote! :D But I guess TV viewers are a minority overall? Keep up the good work, loved your series on Kos!
Just listening to you is giving me anxiety. I am horrible for travel, and need to be ahead by 2 hours to go anywhere. The anxiety gets my IBS into full motion, and then it's 💩💩'ing time for me, so it's a scramble to find toilets. Yeah.. I'm not the ideal travel partner.. 🤣
Here's the playlist for my Isle of Man Holiday weekend: ruclips.net/p/PLALLNg0RJa5wzA_DHXO1AstrhPkzM3wx0 Thanks so much for watching! Imo x

Sorry for all these messages. I hope they don't clutter up your excellent vlog!

Manx Mature Cheddar is excellent next time you visit the Isle of Man. Hope you enjoyed you stay. Come again soon !
Mmmm We'll have to try some! Thanks, Christina and thanks so much for watching. :)
Yay, the Isle of Man, looking forward to watching what's to come!👍
Ooooh Your trouser press reaction at 20:32 is totally giving me Miranda vibes from her "Thailand" hotel 😂 (I'm sure I remember you watching Miranda with Izzy a while back?) Xx
Glad you got there safely. A cuppa well needed 😌
05:08 Oh crikey, I was hanging on every word! One of the reasons why its never a bad thing leaving mega early!
08:32 the words of calm from IB! Its still nail biting stuff though...
My anxiety was matching yours !! Your group sounds like a fun bunch. Impressive staying up late skills too !
I always make sure my daughters college bag is full of squirreld away snacks 😉 I have the same fear, she might be in lesson, starving !! ❤️
The minibus back was just the best jolly old sing song loved this vid imo enjoy your stay donny x
Thanks, Donny. x
Looking forward to the next video so I can see more of this quaint hotel :)
You are quite the traveler! Looks like a good amount of snacks to hold you over! I am a squirrel as well 😊
a bus full of musicians: the party bus!
Oh bless you. What a drama! And after all that you had delays 😆
Looks a great boozy musical weekend.
I hear and feel your anxiety at being late for the airport. I hate being late getting to anywhere.
Enjoy the trip x
Thanks, Angie!
I'm deffo a squirrel..food grows in my care .😉👍..brill vlog IMO..busy girly..x
Ah squirrel Jan, too! :) Thanks, Jan.
I literally thought I was the only squirrel in the world and thought I was just a paranoid food nut!! It's such a fear of mine to be hungry without as you say "instant access to food" lol
You are not alone! 🐿
Looks like you were having a fun time IMO, I am always early and get really anxious if I’m late for anything, my daughter thinks I’m bonkers lol
😆 I actually like really taking my time over a travel day and enjoy hanging around with a coffee. Thanks, Deborah. X
Oh imo vloging from the bog so rock and roll 😂 x
I know, right? Ha ha!

Ha ha ha ha! Thanks, Sandy! Don’t worry, the next vlog is less fraught. 😆

Yes, definitely a squirel. My mum laughed because I took snacks even on the school run😀
I would totally do that too!
What a lovely bubly personality you have Imo , you definitely raise me up .
Thank you.
Aw, thanks Paul.
You should try flying from Cardiff to avoid queues and the airport was much nicer when I went to Qatar, and similar when I went to Palma from Cardiff
Thanks for the tip and thanks so much for watching.
No shuttle bus? OMG!
Annnnnnndddddd then after all that, the plane is delayed! We had that at Heathrow, desperately getting there, suffering our way through security, only to find the plane was delayed! Travelling definitely comes with some stress attached!
I'm back from Yorkshire so finally catching up
Oooh, excited to see more of the Isle of Man, never been. Glad you arrived safely in the end 😄
Quick question Imo - I know you love everything Portuguese, have you been to Madeira? We're thinking of going next year. Looks beautiful but I don't think I know anyone who's holidayed there x 🤔
I’ve never been! I’d love to, though.
Imo!!

Ooooh, note taken! Thanks, Jan's daughter!
Ooh dear I do usually given the cups etc a wash thank you for the tip
When I took the train from London to Liverpool a few years ago my train was held up by a truck hitting a bridge up ahead, I guess trucks hitting bridges is a common thing there
It does happen from time to time, yes.
It's just never ending construction out there by the train station! :)
I know! It’s been going on for just about all the time I’ve been vlogging.
Made it to the Isle of man! That elevator is not for people who are claustrophobic
oh man everything that could go wrong is going wrong! Were there other people on foot besides you and IB walking to the airport?
No it was just us two at that time.

Ahh yes - the rare TV RUclips watcher. :) The reason why some RUclipsrs are going the 4K route. :) Thanks, James.
Hope you enjoy!😀

Thanks! :)
Yikes! That hold up made me nervous!!!
What's got three legs and flies? Manx trousers!!! On holiday again! You've just come back from Kos!!
Ho ho.
Just listening to you is giving me anxiety. I am horrible for travel, and need to be ahead by 2 hours to go anywhere. The anxiety gets my IBS into full motion, and then it's 💩💩'ing time for me, so it's a scramble to find toilets. Yeah.. I'm not the ideal travel partner.. 🤣
Oh no! I wee a lot when I’m nervous…
Wow, your feet are hardly touching the ground, you're off again! You should change your channel name to "The Travelling Squirrel!"😆👍
😆
Hope everyone is doing ok
We're doing well thank you Anneka. Same to you. x

Wings need to flap..... you've seen birds fly right? 😆
