Isle of Man
Day 4 - Douglas is the capital and largest town of the Isle of Man with a population of 28,939. It is located at the mouth of the River Douglas, and a sweeping bay of two miles. We happened to be in town for the annual TT (motorcycle) races. We took two vintage railways and traveled through what may well be the Isle of Man's most picturesque areas, including Snaefell Mountain, the island's highest point.

The Isle of Man (/ˈmæn/; Manx: Ellan Vannin, pronounced [ˈɛlʲən ˈvanɪn]), otherwise known simply as Mann (Manx: Mannin, IPA: [ˈmanɪn]), is a self-governing British Crown Dependency, located in the Irish Sea between the islands of Great Britain and Ireland. The head of state is Queen Elizabeth II, who holds the title of Lord of Mann. The Lord of Mann is represented by a Lieutenant Governor, but its foreign relations and defense are the responsibility of the British Government. Although the United Kingdom does not usually intervene in the island's domestic matters, its "good government" is ultimately the responsibility of the Crown (that is, in practice, the Government of the United Kingdom).
