Monks on a Chairlift

I went to Alum Bay on the Island's westernmost point and decided to go on the chairlift. Only to discover about 150 people dressed in robes such as worn by the typical Tibetan Monk and similarly attired nuns had sought enlightenment by also riding the chairlift. It's quite a sight being at the bottom and watching monk after monk, nun after nun, ascend slowly and silently into the heavens above.

Bet they felt foolish when they realised that Monks Bay is at Bonchurch, near the Island's southernmost point. . .
