  Legoland - Denmark   Legoland, oh what a fantastic place! Everywhere we looked; houses, people, animals, everything you could imagine made from those unique plastic bricks. A tour of the miniature village allowed us to see harbours, trains, factories, airports and road networks all made from Lego. The detail that goes into these scenes were just incredible.  After many rides, the most exciting one was the Eagle roller coaster. One for the thrill seekers amongst us!   Back at the holiday village we found a huge mix between a bouncy castle and trampoline, where we all jumped, bounced, laughed and we are sure you could have heard our whooping and laughing for miles around. We went to the Zoo and what a Zoo to marvel at! A combination of Wild life park,  Safari park and Zoo all mixed together to create a special place where we could drive past lions, elephants and we could park up and observe the vast array of ani...

  Yorkshire Dales, TV Soap Country    At the Wensleydale Creamery in Hawes we had the opportunity to taste many different cheeses and see the cheese making process. References were made to Wallace and Grommit and we had great fun having our photos taken with the characters.   We went to the Woolpack Inn for Sunday lunch, with Yorkshire puddings all round! The Woolpack is the pub featured in the popular TV soap Emmerdale. Everyone had a chance to pull a pint behind the bar and we all thought we would make great bar staff! Our first stop was The Carding Shed at Jackson Bridge. Here we saw a collection of car related memorabilia before stopping in the café for tea and coffee which was served in vintage cups and we tried their homemade cakes. The waitresses were fabulous in their 50's dresses.  A short drive and we were amongst the film locations for The Last of the Summer Wine. We visited a museum which is in Nora...

  The Wonders of the Isle of Wight   Our evenings was spent enjoying music and dancing from comedy show, bands and tribute singer. We also participated in some line dancing. Great nights was enjoyed by all. At the bowling alley we took part in a friendly competition; boys vs girls. After a very close game with some great scores, the boys were victorious! We spent an afternoon on the steam railway at Ryde; one of Britain’s heritage railways and a registered educational charity. We sat in restored Victorian and Edwardian carriages where we were able to take in the views of the islands unspoilt countryside. Everyone really enjoyed this trip which was rounded off by visiting the railway museum . We went to the famous Needles landmark at Alum bay. This is a point of natural outstanding beauty overlooking the 3 stacks of chalk in a row that rise about 30m out of the sea off the western side of the Isle of Wight. We w...
