Potters Leisure Resort (Five Lakes) with Midi & Hayley

Image
Potters Leisure Resort  We headed straight to the games room, where we let our competitive sides shine. From connect four to beanbag throwing our sporting side definitely came out. An intense shuffleboard tournament kicked off the next round of games. We were deeply engrossed in a game of Jenga. Their laughter and gasps filled the room each time the tower tumbled down, adding  the lively atmosphere. The evening entertainment never disappoints. From musical extravaganza's to a night with Abba! In true JollyDays style we were always the last on the dance floor!  Then, in true VIP style, we travelled to the shooting field on a golf buggy, ready for some archery and rifle shooting. Archery proved to be a highlight. David S, Simon, and Niel showed they could easily join Robin Hood on his next adventure, hitting the targets with impressive precision. Zoe was a natural, consistently hitting the mark, and David V did a fantastic job improving with each shot. Lee and Katie cheere...

Norfolk Boats, Trains & Seaside with Leo & Netty

 Norfolk Boats, Trains & Seaside  What  a beautiful day for our trip out on the water. On arrival at the boat yard, we spotted our vessel and with the roof open we set off along the broads with the sun shining on our faces with a lovely breeze. On the boat we relaxed and watched the world go by and waving to the other holiday makers on the water. We became wildlife watchers spotting several birds, cormorants, a heron and lots of ducks to name but a few.  We did laugh when we spotted the floating ice cream boat! And of course we needed little persuasion to stop and treat ourselves to one!  The sun was shining, and we had a wonderful morning sailing and watching the cormorants airing their wings after watching them dive for fish. We all got a go at steering the boat and agreed we would make great captains!  It was off to Holt station and luckily for us they were running a vintage train service. Our journey took us to the old seaside town of Sheringham and...

Legoland - Denmark with Darren & Lorraine

Image
Legoland - Denmark  We had arrived at Legoland, a family-friendly destination that combines fun, creativity, and education, making it a must-visit for LEGO enthusiasts and we couldn't wait to explore!   There was a whole host of rides to suit all personalities. Even the gentler rides were great fun, on rivers, through caves, through a safari of Lego animals. ‘Dragon’ was the favourite of the thrill-seekers. There were several opportunities to see the whole site, by monorail, train and a revolving, ascending tower.  Now for the wet and wild rides which we had saved till the end of the day and those riding in the front cars got truly soaked. We spent a while in Mini Land, where the iconic buildings from many countries were recreated in Lego. The moving parts - windmills, bridges, cranes, aeroplanes were amazing, particularly the NASA rocket preparing for take-off. Some of the Lego sculptures are truly amazing, including a full-sized Ferrari car! We could only but guess...
