Holiday time!

On saturday I went away to Great Yarmouth for 5days. It was the family holiday and should of been there until saturday but I've had to come home early due to my commitments onto breakthrough. Half the family are still there though just me and my dad came home today, as my dad also had some work commitments he couldnt get out of.

We had a really nice caravan, one of the nicest I've ever been in (which is saying something considering we owned a caravan for 10years!). When we arrived on the saturday we went to the seafront for a little bit before getting some tea and heading back to the caravan for an early night.

Sunday again was spent around the beach in Yarmouth, with a stroll along the seafront to a craft fair that was being held and then back again to the main pier. In the afternoon me and my dad attempted to fly a kite- to the amusement of the rest of them! In the evening me and my mum went into the club and played bingo before heading back to the caravan again.

Monday we travelled all of two minutes down the road to Hemsby and went in the mega maze!which was truly huge! Half of them gave up at the halfway exit point but I really wanted to complete it. So me and my mum continued on round (getting quite badly lost alot of the time!!). There were meant to be 10 boards hidden in the maze with stamps on that you had to collect to be able to work out a code at the end to find out the name of the robot (it had a junkyard/healthy environment/recycling theme thing) and what the robot could do to be more energy efficient! Well after 2hours of going round the maze and reaching the end (they estimate it will take about an hour and a half) we had only found 3 of the boards!!!!! We decided it wasnt worth going back into it and finding the others. In the afternoon we went onto Thrigby Wildlife gardens, where we had a picnic lunch before going to look at the animals. There was a very cute baby monkey who kept swinging round the cage and falling down it (not hurting itsself!) which kept us very entertained!! In the evening again me and my mum went and played bingo in the club after going into the onsite arcade and playing on the 2p machines!

Tuesday we went to Lowestoft for the day. As it was raining when we got there and discovered the car park was closed because they were setting up for the air festival (We didnt realise it was on at the end of this week) we had to park further away than we normally do, so when we had walked back down to where the fountains were we went into the cafe next to the soft play area. me, my mum and dad then headed into the town centre for a walk while a couple of the others remained behind at the soft play area for an hour. Then we had lunch in the cafe again (the burger with bacon and cheese on top was very yummy!) before being very british and heading down onto the beach near Nemo's cafe. There we were taking cover under the pier because it started to rain again! for most of the afternoon I was wearing my coat but had rolled my jeans up and taken my shoes and socks off and was making sandcastles. I just felt it was very british, it was like "you are on your holiday, you are going to be on the beach and you are going to enjoy yourself- i dont care if its raining!". some of the others were playing bowls with a game that we had brought (the multi-coloured kids one, not the serious kind that you see people playing in the white outfits!). In the evening me and my mum thought about playing bingo but when we got there the place was empty and it wouldnt of been worth the amount we paid out for the tickets even if we did win! So instead we took a walk along the road to a different arcade. Where we played 3games of ice hockey and I beat her in all of them with scores of 7-6,7-1 and 6-1 (we ran out of time on the last game!). We then continued a little bit further down and I ended up buying a sun hat!

This morning we went to Yesterday's World which is a museum/exhbit thing along the seafront in Yarmouth which sold old fashioned sweets and had a full-sized carousel inside the building! After we had gone round there me and my dad came home ready for my dad to go to work tomorrow.

Pictures will follow when i get my camera back at the weekend as I've left it with my mum!
