    Epcot part 7

    5. mai 2022, Forente stater ⋅ ⛅ 33 °C

    We now return to Germany and wait for our allotted time slot for our meal at the Beir Garten, an all you can eat German buffet with entertainment from an Umpa Band.

    We had a selection from German Sausage, Veal Escalopes, Meatballs, Roasted Meats. Starters were Salads or Cheese and Beer Soup, that was a strange one. The deserts of course included Apple Strudel, Black Forest Gateaux and Cheesecake, all washed down with either Wheat Beer or Grapefruit flavoured Beer.

    After this it was back outside into the heat to try and find somewhere to watch the fireworks.    Les mer

    5. mai 2022, Forente stater ⋅ ⛅ 34 °C

    Forging through to Italy now with a Pizzaria and Gondolas on the river.

    We pass right through Germany as we are returning here later for our meal tonight.

    Our final country is China where we again watch a 360 degree film about the county.

    Next two countries are Norway and Mexico but by now we have lost the will, we have aching backs, aching feet and I have a blister on the bottom of my foot the size of a 50p piece.    Les mer

    Epcot part 5

    5. mai 2022, Forente stater ⋅ ⛅ 33 °C

    Moving on to Japan next, where we sat in the shade overlooking the gardens.

    Next up is the good old US of America. Here we indulged in an Ice Cream before going in to watch The American Adventure, an explanation of how the USA came about, using automated puppets which looked really lifelike. 3 out of the 4 of us nearly fell asleep.Les mer

    5. mai 2022, Forente stater ⋅ ☀️ 33 °C

    The next country on our journey is France. We checked out the new Ratatouille ride but there was a 70 minute wait and we decided that was too long.

    Onwards to Morocco, by now we are beginning to wilt as the temperature is 94 degrees and shade is hard to find. We keep popping into the shops not to buy anything just to cool down in the air conditioning.Les mer

    First country is Canada where we watched a 360 degree film about the county and its highlights.

    Next country is good old United Kingdom, complete with red phone boxes and pillar box, a pub and Fish and Chips shop, this is where we had lunch.    Les mer

    Epcot, part 2

    5. mai 2022, Forente stater ⋅ ☀️ 28 °C

    Next was 'Living With The Land' where we floated along in a boat learning about how the growing of food is evolving and how Disney are helping with new methods of food production, including growing vegetables without soil and in upright flower beds to save space. All the food grown is then served in the park's restaurants.

    Next up was 'The Seas, with Nemo'. We sat in giant shell's and floated along through an underground aquarium with commentary and added animation from Nemo.

    Onwards to 'Mission Space' our last 'big' ride. This is where we split up with Martin and Mark heading for a trip to Mars with excessive movement and G Force involved, needless to say Martin felt a bit queesy afterwards. Fiona and me head for a shuttle trip around the earth.    Les mer

    Day out at Epcot, part 1

    5. mai 2022, Forente stater ⋅ ☀️ 23 °C

    Today is our trip to 'Epcot', the only theme park we are visiting. We head off early to make the most of the day.

    On arrival the first thing that hits you is the size of the dome. Our trip also co-insides with the flower festival so there are topiary style statues of the Disney characters dotted all around the park.

    First stop is 'Spaceship Earth' where we travel on a train with narration by Dane Judy Dench and learn about how space travel came about.

    Next up was 'Soarin' where we sat in chairs which were raised off the ground so our feet were dangling free. We watched a film as we flew across the contenants of the world complete with sound, smells and movement.    Les mer

    Disney Springs

    4. mai 2022, Forente stater ⋅ ☀️ 26 °C

    After breakfast we set off for a trip to Disney Springs for a stroll around the shops and a drink in The Boathouse.

    There were all sorts of shops, even a Christmas shop completely full of Disney tree decorations.

    We came back after a couple of hours so Martin could get ready for his round of golf. Mark is going with him to drive the buggy. The temperature this afternoon reached 90 degrees, what is it they say about 'Mad dog's and English men'.

    While the boys were at golf Fiona and me went shopping to a lovely little place called Cracker Barrel and two craft shops.

    Tonight we went to an all you can eat buffet called Golden Corral.    Les mer

    Mark Cooks Breakfast

    4. mai 2022, Forente stater ⋅ ☀️ 21 °C

    This morning Mark helped cook the breakfast, apparently a rare event. It was of course completely healthy, we had scrambled eggs and bacon, the fat that came out of the bacon was unbelievable.

    Lake Alfred

    3. mai 2022, Forente stater ⋅ ⛅ 29 °C

    After we finished lunch we went for a walk down to the lake to see if we could see any, 'gators. We did see some dragonflies and turtles.
    On the way back to the car we did spot a' gator but it was too far away for a picture.
    On the way back home we called at the Golf Club so Martin could book a time for his game tomorrow.
    Back to the villa and Martin and Mark have a dip in the pool, we stayed in tonight for our meal.    Les mer

    Lavender and Lace

    3. mai 2022, Forente stater ⋅ ⛅ 27 °C

    After a light breakfast Fiona a I went shopping in search of new plastic tableware for the villa.
    We then took a drive to Lake Alfred to a lovely tea room called Lavender and Lace.
    The house where it is situated was beautifully decorated with floral swags and glittery Christmas decorations and hundreds of cups, saucers and tea pots.
    The meal we had was beautifully presented and very tasty and the cakes was fabulous.    Les mer

    Harry Leu Gardens

    2. mai 2022, Forente stater ⋅ ⛅ 25 °C

    After waking at 3.30am I managed to doze until a reasonable hour but I did get to see my first beautiful sunrise of the holiday.

    Today we are visiting The Harry Leu Gardens in Winter Park north of Orlando. On the first Monday of every month, in the summer they open the gardens for free.
    We wandered around the 12 different sections of the 50 acres of gardens which contain an oasis of over 40 different plant collections. The house and garden were donated to the City of Orlando in 1961 by Mr Harry Leu and his wife Mary Jane. It is now looked after by a board of trustees.    Les mer

    We*re on our way

    1. mai 2022, Forente stater ⋅ ⛅ 19 °C

    Well after booking, cancelling, 're-arranging Fit To Fly testing we are finally on our way to Florida with Fiona and Mark.
    The taxi arrived on time to take us to Manchester airport. Good journey with light traffic. After expecting long queues and extra security checks for booking in passport control we were pleasantly surprised with how smoothly and quickly it was done, leaving plenty of time for shopping and breakfast.
    The flight was mostly smooth and with all the drinks and food service and in flight entertainment passed quickly, we landed an hour early, (this was then wasted queuing for the car.)
    After landing and again what seemed to be no extra security checks we picked up the car and started out journey to the villa.
    The villa is beautiful and very comfortable, Fiona and Mask are so happy to be back and I can understand why.
    A quick unpack and then out for a meal at Manny"a a favourite haunt for Fiona and Mark and what an experience it was. Huge beers, tender steaks and a never ending salad bowl.
    Back to the villa to bed , around 3.30 English time.    Les mer

    Bognor S*ole rating

    25. september 2021, England ⋅ ☁️ 18 °C

    Sat ere on the Club's Rowan Park site avin a smirk to meself as them off to Bognor on the bus, what are they thinkin? They get back about 4 and it is official - Bognor is a first rate shit ole! Here is their story......

    Bus is on time which is a great start to our day, however its a bit concerning the driver won't stop to pick anyone else up, and keeps muttering something about a moving target. From the High Street to the sea front and Bognor has a prom which we have walked both ways along with the rest of the walking dead, East to a prison with high walls and barbed wire called Butlins and West to absolutely nothing. It has the shortest worst looking pier in the world but which has an exciting edge that you hope you can get back to the prom before it collapses into the turd laden sea. A land train runs along the prom conveying the heavily overweight tattooed inmates from Butlins the 100 yards to a cafe where it turns round, so they can get their burger and chips. We walk past a fairground big wheel, it has one occupant who wants a view of Bognor from the air, coming back an hour later he is still going round waving frantically at us. We find the micropub in the High Street which is OK, but better than the grim alternatives. We fancy a bag of chips so pound the streets of Bognor for seconds before choosing one which has a dizzy 2 stars for cleanliness. Having seen all that the town has to offer we decide to go back to Muttley. There are no buses till Monday morning. We try for an Uber, but our request for the journey is not took up by any drivers. Then our prayers are answered, a taxi parked kerbside with a lady driver who takes pity on our sobbing and gets us back home.

    Sun came out though........    Les mer

    Boggin off to Bognor

    24. september 2021, England ⋅ ☀️ 17 °C

    Hoo bleedin Ray! We are on move. Stopping here any longer and they would have to strim the grass around me wheels. Well his plan is to drive right along the south coast road till we hit Bognor. Sounds like a lot of brakes and gear changes to me but doh get me wrong I am up for it after standin about. First up Eastbourne followed by a drive up Beachy Head (med we sweat a bit) . Then right along Brighton sea front, hampered by queues outside petrol stations by bleedin Chelsea tractors trying to squeeze in an extra litre. Well we stop for lunch at the end of Worthing sea front, and they set off for a leg stretch along the prom towards the pier, 4 miles later them back, and agree they love Worthing, old fashioned resort, nice shopping, and clean (old people eh, what can you do!) Quick stop at Lidl and we am at Bognor site at tea time.Les mer

    The Waterworks Micro Brewery

    23. september 2021, England ⋅ ⛅ 17 °C

    These are for you Mark, thought you might appreciate them. What's better than 4 halves just to get a taster accompanied by crisps and Pork Pie. Don't think I fancy pint of the beer advertised in picture 1 though, and the toilets were quite novel too.

    We've seen some fabulous sunsets while we've been away but this one was my favourite.    Les mer

    Rail to Rye

    23. september 2021, England ⋅ ⛅ 17 °C

    Them off again on the chuffer this time to Rye, a Chinque Port town, whatever that means. Apparently it was a port among the historical Romney Marshes, but is now slightly inland from the coast still connected by river, with a tiny castle and enchanting streets of olde worlde buildings which are as they were and not converted to shops etc. There is still a gatehouse but no city walls, but as Rye is on a hill you can easily imagine it would have been a stronghold town overlooking the Marshes back in the day. A wander round the weekly market, and refreshments at The Waterworks a micro pub with an exceptional local beer and cider list. Back on the chuffer to complete a great day out.Les mer

Book reading for them, and then they decide to go over the road to sit on the beach. He even digs out his kite to fly - what is he twelve or summat!Les mer

    Keeping an eye out in Hastings

    21. september 2021, England ⋅ ⛅ 17 °C

    Them up and off catching the 10.66 train to Hastings (see what I did there?). As usual they mek a beeline for the prom and walk towards the old town area, where the fishing boats still launch from the beach by tractors and hoists. Fresh fish huts everywhere and they ave bought some fresh smoked mackerel and salmon back with em to stink me fridge out! After a leisurely pint they mek their way to Maggies, a well recommended fish n chip restaurant in a fisherman's hut for a late lunch. Bostin was the verdict. A further wander up the prom to St Leonards where they kept an eye out for Harold, and battled back on the train. (jokes again, I'm getting good at this blogging lark!).Les mer

    Lewes Brews

    20. september 2021, England ⋅ ⛅ 17 °C

    Right so them both up early this morning ready for a trip to historic Lewes on the train which involves a train connection at Eastbourne. Anyroad they get there ok and walk along the main High Street where the buildings are all olde worldly and interesting, and he does quite well keeping er out of the clothes shops. He then drags her round Lewes castle and museum to have a look around and climb up the ramparts for the views. She ay very keen but he seems to enjoy it anyway. Back down again they walk over the bridge to inspect Harveys historic Brewery. We'll that is a surprise! Harvey's have been brewing since 1757 and they've got a brewery tap so they sit themselves down to sample some various beers (all excellent) complete with a panini and chips. This is a recurring holiday theme if seems. Another wander round the town then back on the train changing again at Eastbourne with enough time for an ice cream Bostin.Les mer

Kept dry for them so he dah get no earache for getting her wet on one of his outings. Fingers crossed the weather bucks up this week for em.Les mer

    Beautiful Bexhill Before Beer

    18. september 2021, England ⋅ ⛅ 18 °C

    Well we ave woke up to a crackin day here on the South Coast, clear blue sky and full on sun. I can feel me solar panels warming up a treat, luverley! After a bit of a debate they unload the bikes and pedal off in the direction of Bexhill about 5 mile away along the quiet coast road. Well by all accounts they loved it, very up market (so they must ave stood out then! ) with a cracking prom, lovely apartments and beach chalets fronting the pebble beach, and a small market behind art deco buildings. Having strolled along the prom as old gits do, he decides they need refreshment and wouldn't you adam and eve it , he knows there is a micro pub in the town. Great find e says, 12 cask gravity fed ales, of which they sampled 6, cheese onion cobs to nibble on, all followed by a rather wobbly pedal back home.Les mer

    Well muckers, wim on the road again. After Master Tom fitted me with new brakes and discs I'm feeling a little chipper, and looking forward to the trip. But what's this, ees talking bout the M25, gooing South and all, gonna be a long day.

    Well it wor bad to be fair, M5, M4, M329, M3, M25, M23 and just one mistake by Mrs Satnag, which caused a few heated words between em and a U turn up a cul-de-sac! Cracking site at Norman's Bay, Pevensey right opposite the beach, busy site but the sun is out, the chairs are out and the beer is out. Here for 7 nights an I am well happy, lots of company for me while they am out n about, not like the usual isolated farm sites they usually leave me on!    Les mer

    New Mills

    10. mai 2021, England ⋅ ☁️ 8 °C

    Today is our last full day so we have decided we're going on a bike ride whatever the weather, ha ha.

    It's dry when we set off but we're only just off the site when it starts to rain 🌧️.

    We bike to town and then join the Sett Valley Trail to New Mills, it's only about 2 and a half miles.

    We get there park up the bikes for a walk around and yes you've guessed it, it starts pouring with rain 🌧️

    There's not much to interest us so we decide to head back home. The bikes are great so much easier to ride than the others and going up hills is so much quicker.

    We arrive back at the site and would you believe it the sun 🌞 comes out, Martin is determined to make the most of it and gets the chairs out and sits outside for a while.

    We are making our way back home tomorrow, we've enjoyed our trip but could have done with better weather.    Les mer
