Blackpool

Greg and I are on vacation.

Ripley’s believe it or not is our purpose, having visited such an strange set of exhibits in Hollywodd, we decided ti see what the UK’s offerings were.  We have seen kore of the same stuff, including the 9 foot fellow.  Despite that the weather is reminiscent of summer days, clear bue skies and warmish weather to stroll around.

On our way up here we had a pleasant couple of hours with Phillip ahead of his 21st birthday.  He was treated to an ipod docking station to listen to his music LOUD.

Hotel (Gaydon Hotel in Lytham is just fine), all quiet and we can see the sea from our room.  TV on with Xbox 360 makes it all the better.

The Tower tour is an expensive experience, we didn’t want to spend all day with childrens play areas or see a circus, so £28 was an expensive lift journey.

Have been on the pier, strolled around in shorts been up and down on trams, and will be going back to see the ‘illuminations’.  Hope to go swimming on Friday in a theme pool and complete all the rides in the Pleasure Beach on Thursday.

 No ice creams or doughnuts yet, but have got our seaside rock..mmmmmm
