In Between Days

Thursday.
Another very hot gorgeous day it reached 76° at one point.
We left the hotel and went to Maccy Ds for breakfast ( the best meal they do in my opinion) I had a egg mc muffin coffee ( another thing they do right without the high price tag!) Then we went to TKMAXX and bought a cool bag. Kev cleverly bought some cheap ice lollies from Tesco to use as an ice pack. We got some cans of pop and some fruit kebabs, and a bottle of aftersun.
We went to the Oceanarium. I must say apart from the Otters and Penquins I was a bit disappointed, the Sea life one at Brighton was so much better. But it was a lot cheaper to get in,  and at least it might go to help it stay open as it is clearly in need of an update. We went on the land train from one end of the beach to the other ( it's a long beach if you've never been) and return. Lovely little steam driven engine, and made that glorious toot toot sound, we went past some lovely beach huts. I'd love a beach hut. Can you imagine what I'd decorate it like? Spooky little Shack... some were open, and the people who were lazing on chairs and loungers waved smugly ( because apparently they aren't cheap) there were school groups on the beaches as obviously it's coming to the end of term, what else do you do with them? Shove em on the sand and buy em a lolly. So they all waved energetic like. 
We then sat on the pier and had pizza while people watching. What a lovely way to spend an afternoon. In fact, by the time we headed back to the hotel, we were that chilled out we dropped off on the riser recliners in the room. We woke up and decided not to bother going down to the bar and garden, had showers and then bed. That's the sign of a relaxing holiday. No pressure to do anything if we don't want!
