Butlins Bognor Regis Fun Day

On the second week of Girlie's 2 week vacation we decided to go to Butlins in Bognor Regis. It was about 60 miles south on Carshalton. It took us almost 1 and a half hours drive and luckily we did'nt get lost this time even on our way back when we took another route. The kids have lot of fun in the indoor swimming pool as well as the outdoor swimming pool. We all had tried the big slide although Pau does'nt want to do it again. Enzo and I also tried the bigger slide, it take about 20 seconds to reach the bottom. After swimming we tried all the free rides that comes with our ticket. Pau liked the carousel and the bump car but Enzo like the ride that looks like a feris wheel, he said he liked the feeling in his stomach. Check out some of the pictures here for the rest just go to the fotopic section.

Just before we left for home we took a walk in the beach.

Longleat Adventure

After Stonehenge we went straigth to Longleat which is about 20 more miles. It's a 900 acre parkland with many attractions. We were not able to go to all the attractions but we can still go there before the season ends using the same ticket to go to the rest of the attractions we missed. This is the farthest so far we've travelled. We tried the maze and it took us 17 minutes to reach the center where the viewing tower is located unfortunately on our way out Enzo opened the direction finder so going out does not countanymore because we have our help. Next we took a ride in the Safari Boat. It traveled to the Gorilla Island which is in the middle of the lake. On our way a sealion swam alongside the boat and the sat on the back of the hippo. Pau and Enzo enjoyed Adventure Castle most. Enzo enjoyed Postman Pat Village as well. Before we left for home there's just one more high tech ride we have to try, the Motion Simulator. Although the movie is not great, Enzo enjoyed it a lot. Hopefully by October's half term break we can go back and visit the Safari Park. Here are some photos the rest you can just click on the fotopics icon.

Stonehenge

Yesterday we went to Stonehenge so the kids can have sometime off away from home. Enzo liked the stones a lot. He enjoyed the phoneguide even more. There's nothing much to do at Stonehnege after your go around it so we make our way to Longleat. Here are some photos we have taken and then just click the fotopic icon for the complete set of photos.
