  Winter Sun in the Canarie s   We made our way to Teide National Park, this was a fantastic chance to visit Mount Teide, an active Volcano on the Island. We enjoyed the walk along the paths and the beautiful landscape that surrounded us. At the ‘Monkey World’ everyone loved seeing the various species of monkeys, alligators and we were even allowed to get up close and stroke the guinea pigs, tortoise, lemurs and parrots.  In the evening  we danced the nights away in some brilliant bars with live music! We took the stage for some amazing Karaoke performance!  One evening we were treated to amazing traditional Flamenco Dancing.  This was incredible to watch! During our week we enjoyed a few fun activities. We played a few games of mini golf,  pool, table tennis and some of us even tried spinning bikes!  During our boat trip we spotted Pilot Whales.

  Bowling & Pool Competition - Nottinghamshire   We were all extremely excited about the coming days. A short walk away was the Snooker Club which was close to the market square. The busy markets were filled with Christmas decorations certainly made us feel very festive and jolly!   We had our first pool tournament, playing each other in a series of games, to determine who would make it through to the next round.

It was almost like being in a disco with the lively music and funky lights. The following day we retur...

   Attractions of Blackpool    After exploring the Tower and enjoying the spectacular views  we walked along the prom to the Sea Life Centre where we spent a couple of hours admiring all of the different species of fish. Our favourite parts were the sharks and being able to walk through the glass tunnel whilst they swam around us. We all felt very brave!     At the Madam Tussauds Wax Works museum we spent the afternoon mingling with our favourite stars of stage and screen. They were so life like to look at and we got some really great photos.  We visited the famous Blackpool Ballroom, where they film Strictly Come Dancing for a spot of dancing and a delicious afternoon cream tea. We really enjoyed watching the professionals whirl around the dance floor. We even had a bit of a dance  ourselves.  Today we were going on a trip to the Lake District. We started our day in Bowness on Lake Windermer...
