Wordfest sleepover

Benidorm - Wed

Joe and Josh had fun playing on the beach.

Don also enjoyed it.




We went on another coach excursion. The first stop was an orchard for us to do orange picking. It was raining a bit so Chat used his bag as a hat instead of as a receptacle for oranges.

The tour guide took us for a glass of sangria (Dad had his own, mine, Josh's and a spare one). And we had tapas of mini octopus things. Even Josh tried some.

We came back to the hotel and Josh played pool (using Nessa's hand as a cue rest).

We did the pictures music quiz. Chat got most of them for us but he was stuck on one. But then in a sudden fit of inspiration Mum got it - Patsy Cline. Us and another team got them all right so Ness and a lady from that team had to go up on stage for the tiebreaker which was to guess Paco the singer's age. Ness guessed 32, the other woman guessed 41. Paco is 34. Both teams won a bottle of champagne.

Benidorm - Tues

We got the boat across to an island.

Then we got on the aquario aquascope to see the submarine views and underwater life. I stepped on after Nessa and the man was like no, no, wait so my other leg was still on land and I was nearly doing the splits so the man and the people in the queue behind me were laughing at me. When we got inside we were really squashed and me and Tasha felt claustrophobic and seasick. Dad said fish always look grumpy. It was like being in Finding Nemo.

Whilst we were exploring the island a seagull pooed on Josh. Much to Joe's amusement.

Back in Benidorm Mum, Dad and Chat went to read the papers and drink sangria while the rest of us had a dip in the sea. Don and Joe admired the view - of topless ladies on the beach.

We went back to the hotel and Josh gave Tasha a massage.

 

Benidorm - Mon

Dad had a tub of icecream for breakfast.
We went on a coach excursion today to Guadalest. A man threw me out of his shop for trying to take photos of the cakes and sausages.
The next stop was Algar waterfalls. Ness, Chat, Don and Josh went swimming there.

We bet Don 43 euros he wouldn't jump off the diving board and he did.

Benidorm - Sun

Mum and Tasha had champagne for breakfast and then when they got the lift to go back to their rooms they got confused and got out on the 2nd floor instead of the 23rd floor and went to room 207 instead of 2307!

The grown-ups all went off to the market while I took the boys down to the beach.

Then me and Mum went for a lie-down while everyone else went karting. Josh kept trying to hold Chat's hand. Much to Chat's disgust!

In the evening Dad asked where Mum was and Tasha told him "Gone up to watch Poldark" and he replied "What? Pole dancing?"

Benidorm - Sat

We went to Mundomar and saw lots of lovely animals.

   Josh, Joe, Chat and Ness got into wetsuits and life jackets for their dolphin encounter.

Back at the hotel we tried out the cocktails.

Josh's best bit of the holiday was watching tv in bed.

Benidorm - Fri

We walked down to the beach.

Don, Ness and Chat had shark for lunch.


Ness took the boys in the pool and when they got out they were so cold they'd turned white and they couldn't speak.

We went for a drink in the bar and Dad scored us a cup of crisps and nuts - result!

Benidorm - Thurs

  Chat had a disaster and forgot his swimming trunks and also realised his new jumper which he'd been enjoying had a hole in and was coming apart at the seams. Ness said to draw a line under it to stop him going on about it but he ignored her.
   Our flight was delayed because of the air traffic control strike. We got to the hotel at 2am so poor little Josh's head was drooping.
When he was putting our all-inclusive wristbands on the man at reception asked if Tasha is a child!
