Rollercoaster

We took a few days holiday over the February half term and visited Bristol, Stratford-Upon-Avon and Alton Towers theme park. The weather was kind so we were able to wander around the docks at Bristol where the SS Great Britain is moored and enjoy the re-developments that have taken place since we went to University there in the mid 1980s. Stratford was a bit like an upmarket theme park with all the shakespeare-inspired stuff but not too full of tourists at this time of year. They are also re-deloping the RSC and the waterfront area with landscaping. I'm not keen on rollercoasters etc but always end up on them to avoid family humiliation and usually don't regret it. This time it was the turn of Oblivion and Air but fortunately for me some of the others like Nemesis were closed. On balance, I prefer the squirrel nutty rides
