Maceys holiday on the Isle Of Man
Posted: 26 Oct 2013, 13:10
We got Macey (used to be Lacey) nearly a year ago, she has been away with us a few times in the touring caravan, and she is really well behaved.
We had booked a 4 week holiday in the Isle of Man to coincide with the Manx Grand Prix bike racing fortnight. We usually only go for 2 weeks but extended it this year as I am recuperating from surgery due to prostate cancer.
We weren't sure how Macey would behave on the crossing from Heysham, so we booked a cabin in which you can take your dog, it costs £49 extra each way but we thought it was worth every penny. The cabins are just the same as normal ones (beds/showers/tele/wifi) but they have Lino flooring incase of accidents, Not me, the dog! They even have dog bowls.
Macey behaved impeccably for the duration of the 3.5hr crossing.
We stayed in our normal accomodation near Kirkmichael, we all had a great time, Macey thought it was brilliant with the beach being only a couple of minutes away for her regular walks, she loved trying to "bite" the breaking waves as they tumbled in, though she was going mad with the smells of a dead seal that had been washed up one day, we had to put her back on her lead to keep her from it, probably would have ended up rolling on it!
Here's some pics.
