I Want To Ride My Bicycle

So after a night of thunder and lightning accompanying a torrential downpour we stepped back out into glorious sunshine and not a cloud in the sky.

Anyway back to last night. We had eaten and were going for a bit of a stroll.  The girls were just about to go on the go karts when the wind picked up and we sensed it was about to pour - the thundrous black clouds were a bit of a clue.

So the girls decided to hire a bike for half an hour - the four seater variety where supposedly everyone pedals. Having experienced being a passenger in a go kart in Florida last year I decided to go food shopping. I sensed this wasn't going to be a relaxing cycle in the sun and a rather frazzled Mrs J returned with Miss B and Miss H moaning about back seat drivers...

The girls saw a lot more of the park and found a few more places to eat and found the adventure golf. Will there be a 2013.challenge? You will need to wait and see.

So it's coming up to 12 and we are sat on the decking just enjoying the sun and chillaxing - I'm not a fan of the word but it does sum things up well.

I think it will be off to the pool shortly to cool down. And so it was... Plenty of dunking and then back for lunch.

You know when you are settling in when you embrace the customs. One that we are all taking advantage of is the siesta. Two hours of silence and a chance to refresh your batteries. Most enjoyable...

Then it was off to the beach for a bob - nothing but blue sky as far as the eye could see. It's not a very wide beach - as in the distance to the sea but is enough for us. We're not great beach lovers and much prefer the sea.

So tea was a BBQ - not a great success but not for lack of trying. It waited until we had given up and then blasted into life. Managed to cook some sausages and burgers but couldn't tell you what they were though. Tasted fab anyway.

Just walking round the village this evening. The girls have found a rollercoaster they are 'small' enough to ride and now all 3 of them have gone for a land train ride so thought I would catch up with my blogging.

That will leave time for a nightcap before returning home to apply the aftersun.
