My Holiday Trip With My Best Friend

Day 1
On the 7th I woke up at 7:00am had breakfast and my mum drove me over to my friends house. We got there at 9:30am. We then packed my friend's dad's car. I had a pink case and a rucksack. On the way to a Travellodge where we were staying the night (which turned out to be three minutes away from the actual location) we went to Puxton Park. Puxton Park is a farm park with a few ride type things e.g these on the water bumper boats with squirting buttons where you squirt random people and get soaked. It has also got  a lake where you can zorb or go on rowing boats. We went in a rowing boat and little did I know that my friends dad cannot row so my friend and I were about 10 cm away from being in the water and there was an island which we kept crashing into. It was sooooo scary and we were hysterical. In the farm shop they have their they sell lots of random flavoured stick's of rock. I had never had a Stick of Rock so I thought it was about time I did try one. I bought an ice cream flavoured one and it was very very Nice. We then made our way to the Travellodge and the SatNav directed us to a road without a Travellodge so we had to kinda make up the route to where it is. We got lost for an hour down a very hilly country road. Eventually we found it. In the Travellodge room there was a double bed in the middle and then two single beds on either side. My friend and I slept in the double bed and my friend's parents slept on the singles. As it was either a Little Chef or a Burger King for dinner we went to The Little Chef. Although, I am not vegetarian I had a vegetable Cottage pie which was really YUMMY. My friend had trapped wind so we were all embarrassing her as much as possible. We then came home and watched the Olympics until late.

Day 2
I woke up at 7am so I started to get ready because my friends parents and my friend woke up at 8:30am. We went to Little Chef for breakfast and I had a Pain au Chocolat. We then drove three minutes down the road and got to The Manor House Hotel, Okehampton, Devon. When we got there as we couldn't check in till 3:00pm we went and signed up to our weeks activities. We then went to a room called Gamezone until lunch. Gamezone is basically a place where they have Xbox's, air hockey tables and pool and snooker and table football. Just before lunch we went in the fun house which is like a play barn. Then we had lunch: I had pasta. We then did some a bisque painting. I bought a little sleeping hedgehog to paint. We then did ten pin bowling and I am really not very good at it and lost everytime. We then went to go and check in and realised that it was super busy at reception so we played a game: spin and shout which I won. We played this in the bar & lounge area. As my friend and I had been craving a swim we went swimming as soon as we got our room  key. Then as our hair was drying we went and played a game of table tennis and my friend's dad is AMAZING. we then went back to the room to dump our wet stuff then went to dinner. I had (surprise, surprise) pasta. Then once our food had settled we went and played badminton.

Day 3
Early Tuesday morning my friend and I went and did glass engraving I engraved a small square plate and I LOVE it. My friend jar drinking glass thing and she really likes hers. The we did a bit more bisque painting before lunch. I had more pasta for lunch. In the afternoon we did Enamelling. Which is basically melting powdered  glass onto copper sheet cut outs. I made a pig for my mum and a deep red apple necklace for myself. Then my friend and I went to a Bollywood class which was energetic and fun. We then went to the funhouse again until dinner. Just before dinner we played a few adventure golf holes I won 3 my friends dad won 4 and my friend won 1 my friends mom didn't win any. We then had dinner: I had pasta. Once our food settled we played Tennis and my friend's dad hit the ball back and it hit the light switch which turned the lights off and it takes 5 minutes before they turn back on again. But it was very fun to finally play.

Day 4
First thing we did after breakfast was bowling then fun house. My friend and I then went to a Barre Fusion class. Barre Fusion is basically a fitness, yoga and stretching class. It was definitely painful the morning after for my friend.  We then all went to the Hydro Spa which is basically hot pools which have jet chairs and massage seats under water. I had my first time in a sauna and steam room and I actually really liked them they were only 40-50 degrees though. We then had lunch. we then went to the funhouse and bowling again. My friend and I then went to a roller disco which my friends mum signed us up too. I found that I can skate pretty well. But my friend clung onto the side the whole time which was quite funny but I think we both had fun, we both got very hot and sweaty. We then went along to Archery and I am sooooo bad at Archery I hit the target when I was supposed to hit something else and vice versa although, when we had to imagine it was pizza and hit it in a certain order I could do it, I am not sure what that says about me as a person though. We then went back to the room to chill until dinner. We then packed after dinner and went to play badminton. After badminton we packed up the car and went to bed.

Day 5
We started the last day activities by going to the funhouse and then we went and did Porcelain Painting. I painted a really beautiful rice spoon for my mum but accidentally dropped it so it broke and I painted my dad an egg cup which had duck feet so I painted it like a duck. My friend and I then went back in the fun house for a bit. The both of us then went to Salsa and it took us a while to loosen up and start using our hips but we did eventually. I had pasta for lunch and then we got in the car and went home. As my friends dad had challenged us all to a 3 hour car journey without going to the loo I didn't use the toilet but we did have to stop at a service station on the way back. When I got home I showed my family everything I had made and told them all about it.

I just wanted to thank my friends family for such an amazing holiday I loved it soo much.
I hope you all are having/had a fabulous summer holiday..
