Meeting up at our London Docklands hotel, checked into our rooms and set off for a ride on the “Emirates” cable car ride which took us to the “O2” centre. We headed to the SKY studios where we were filmed reading the news and sports. We had our photos taken with some of our favourite stars.   We woke to beautiful weather on Wednesday, which was to stay with us for the whole of the holiday! We walked to the DLR and got off at Tower Gateway where we wandered around the Tower of London and walked along the Thames and lunched close to the Monument. Three brave souls went up to the top gallery where we had splendid views over London.   It was then onto Trafalgar Square and we jumped on an open top bus for a ride around London seeing many of the famous London landmarks. We stopped back at the Embankment and went for a drink in a pub that was famous for Sherlock Holmes having drunk there. From there we walked into Covent Garden, watched an escape artist and saw the lights t...

Having met up over a delicious lunch, we all set off in the Jolly Bus for our short journey to Centre Parcs.   We checked into our beautiful woodland lodges and set about unpacking our cases.   Once we had finished, we set off to find our chosen restaurant for a lovely evening meal. Tonight it was to be the Foresters Restaurant! After our meal we took a leisurely walk to the Parc village and found ourselves in the sports bar where we had a relaxing drink before the amble back to our lodges.  A lovely way to start our holiday!   During our fantastic week away we a few rounds of adventure golf, with some impressive shots made by all!  We went swimming in the excellent Tropical Garden pool on site and went on some wonderful rides!  One was called 'The Tropical Cyclone', which was so much fun that we went on it over and over again!  We had a few games of ten pin bowling - everyone got right into the team spirit and some great strikes were made!...

For breakfast each morning, we had so much to much to choose from!   There was fruit, yoghurts, cereal, toast, porridge, croissants, kippers, eggs in many different ways,   full English, continental, pancakes....the list goes on!   Everybody agreed that they would like to have a game of ten pin bowling so the competition was on!   Well done to everyone as the scores were very impressive.     During our stay we had an exciting game of Famil...
