Day 66
I wonder where our Summer had gone to. The weather today feels like late Autumn/Winter. The sky is grey, the wind is cold and blowing hard and it just isn’t pleasant weather to be in.
We went to Blackpool Tower this morning and went up to the top. There is a portion of glass floor at the top of the tower for the brave to walk across. It is a strange feeling walking over glass knowing there is nothing below you for over 300 ft. At the end of the tower visit was the circus. The circus was fantastic and full of athletes showing off their skills. Unfortunately we had to leave after the first half as we had planned to visit the swimming pool that shuts at 5:30 pm.
We took the tram to the ‘Sandcastle Water Park’ which is a pool full of slides, wave pools and other fun water based activities. The kids loved splashing around in the water and our youngest daughter Katie managed to swim with her arm bands for the first time.
We ate after swimming and after a bit of a walk had an early night as we are leaving tomorrow.
Although my eating hasn’t been as clean as I had planned for it to be over the last week I have to be pleased that it isn’t bad. I haven’t eaten any sweets, crisps, pastries or fried food. I have eaten plenty of fruit but I have eaten more cooked food then I have been of late. I like eating raw food but it is just so difficult to do away from a kitchen. I guess we all have to learn how to adapt the first time we encounter difficulties like these. I will be better prepared for our next holiday.
