Blackpool with Phil & Candy

We met up excitedly and had a beautiful pub lunch on the way up to Blackpool.  When we arrived we unpacked and freshened up, before having a delicious dinner. 

We went to the wonderful Sea World!  What a fantastic place! We saw many varieties of sea life – flat fish, star fish, sharks, lobsters, turtles and many more!  We got to touch the starfish – but we made sure to keep our hands out of the piranha tank!  We then had a filling headed for Madam Tussauds.  We had our pictures taken with the stars which was a lot of fun!

 
We spent a day in the Blackpool Tower – what a wonderful place! We got the lift to the top of the tower and stood on the glass bottomed floor!  It made our tummies lurch a little, but we all had a go! We saw the circus and there were clowns, comedians, trapeze artists, magicians and much more! Everyone loved it. 


We took a trip to the largest indoor market in the region! It was huge! 

We watched the stunning ballroom dancing in the ballroom tower and even got up and had a go ourselves!  We had a spot of lunch in the ballroom whilst listening to the glorious music.  We then spent the afternoon on the North pier and went on the rides!  Some of us got wet on the log flume!


We went on more rides on the south pier and devoured some doughnuts and drinks and enjoyed the fresh sea breeze.  We ambled down the promenade and saw horses and carts riding by. 




And of course, we saw the illuminations! As always, the end of the holiday had come round too soon!  We packed our cases, boarded the ‘Jolly Bus’ and headed for home, stopping off at a delightful pub for lunch.  We all chatted about our favorite parts of the holiday.
