omg - spent over an hour writing this blog, whilst watching CSI and lost internet connection just as I tried to send it so lets try again. Weather held out for going to theme park on the Saturday, park entrance is only 5 min walk from our flat, however another 30 min walk to get to theme park entrance, all uphill. So we were minging and sweaty by the time we got there. The 6 of us, Michael (our driver) his son, Tracy, Tracy's sister and her two girls. The firs...
