  Austria, Sound of Music Tour   Arriving at our breathtakingly beautiful hotel, we couldn't believe how picturesque it was.  We strolled into the village to look at some of the shops and check out the really unusual architecture before making our way to the cable car lift. everyone absolutely loved it and the views were just the best! We were over 2000 feet high and saw horses grazing, hikers, hand gliders, natural lakes and mountainous views to take your breath away.  Off we went to the National Park, Hohe Tauern and the spectacular water fall. The breathtaking waterfall is the biggest one in Europe and the mountainous views and the surrounding National Park was fantastic. The noise of the waterfall was very loud and the closer we went the more we were sprayed.  Today we made our way to Salzburg, ready for our Sound of Music tour! We visited Mirabell Gardens where we relieved Maria and the V...

  Norfolk - Boats, Trains & Seaside   We put our life jackets on and made our way to the dock where we boarded our sailing boat. The water was calm and with the slight breeze we took to the water and enjoyed the relaxing trip around the broads.

The sun was shining as we paddled around some of the stunning lake with amazing scenery of mountains and forests.  We tried our hand at archery and had great fun competing against each other. Another fun and challenging activity of indoor rock climbing and abseiling. Everyone faced the challenges with bravery and confidence and we all excelled. We tried the sensory big swing in the sports hall. We all chose a song to be swung around and around to. To finish the day we all tried the zip wire, whizzing down at great speed looking out on spectacular sights of the surrounding area.  One evening we had great fun doing an arts and crafts class where we painted pictures onto tiles and then made greetings cards to take home.  ...
