I just saw the “Victoria & Abdul” movie, and it gave me so much memories about my little trip to Isle of Wight. Half of the film takes place at the Osborne House, it was a lovely reminder about the day I visited it. Now I understand so much more about the Indian hall and all portraits on the walls. The movie is good, and Judi Dench as Queen Victoria is fantastic. I visited Isle of Wight in June, I went there for the music festival, where one of my favorite bands Arcade Fire were headliners. I think with my last year’s trip to Bilbao after them I started a tradition to see them every summer in small and strange places. On Isle of Wight I also had my best Airbnb experience so far. Neil, my host, not only gave me a room to stay, but also showed me all the interesting places on island, and his cat Buster was very communicative, the two of them never let me be lonely or bored. We spent three lovely days together, and I left the island with the feeling that I was leaving my friend. Neil is about my parent’s age, and he has two daughters about my age, who left him couple years ago to study on the main island. So I think he misses them and I reminded them for him. Now Neil and me are friends on Facebook, and we text sometimes, and on my next trip to UK this January I hope to meet him again. Just so many memories after one good movie
