We all arrived at our luxury lodges and dropped off our bags in time to go to a local pub for lunch. After unpacking and exploring our holiday village it was straight off for a couple of games of ten pin bowling. Well done Fiona for winning both games! We then had a very enjoyable and fun evening having a meal in another pub and getting to know a local disability group who were spending the evening there. The next morning after a full English fry up we set off for the zoo. We had a brilliant day looking at so many different animals, watching the displays and animal training and were even able to stroke a python and speak to the keepers. Tired and happy we headed back to our lodges where we sat on the veranda watching a beautiful sunset before enjoying a delicious home cooked meal. We started Thursday with a swim in the pool and a wallow in the jacuzzi which we had all to ourselves. After lunch in another Country Pub we explored some villages along the Crouch Estuary travelling th...

Our week on the Norfolk Broads was challenged by the good old English Summer but that didn't stop us from venturing out every day and experiencing life on the water. On our way to Norfolk we enjoyed lunch in a country park which was in a beautiful woodland setting. We then journeyed on to our holiday home, a spacious bungalow on the water’s edge and after unpacking we strolled by the water’s edge admiring the boats. We then travelled into Wroxham where we enjoyed a delicious dinner overlooking the river where we watched the swans gliding past. The next day was spent sailing down the River Ant and River Bure before stopping at Ranworth. We then returned to Horning for a lovely pub lunch. As always on the Broads we are treated to seeing lots of bird life which is pointed out to us by our qualified instructors. During the week we took the opportunity to visit Great Yarmouth and apart from a brief visit to the amusements we all enjoyed a very competitive game of 10 Pin Bow...

Everyone arrived at Heathrow in good time. We had first time flyers in Dennis, Patsy & Nigel. They were fantastic. Well done to them. We arrived at our beautiful hotel after a lovely journey through the marvellous scenery. After unpacking our cases, we settled in to our hotel with some refreshments before going out for the evening and having enormous pizzas. It had been a long day and we were happy to get to bed at a reasonable hour. The next day, after a relaxing breakfast, we took a stroll around our lovely Austrian village. David & Nigel played chess on a giant chess board in the village square. We looked into the church and were surprised at how beautiful it was inside. It was nearing lunch time, so we bought some provisions and headed back to our hotel and sat out on one of our balconies and had lunch in the glorious sunshine. Off to Zell am See for a trip on a boat around the lake and time for a drink and an ice cream. There were mountains all around the lake. It wa...
