Disadvantages: can be expensive

What do you think of when you go to Blackpool and is it your cup of Tea or not. Well in this review, I am taking you around Blackpool. Make sure you have casual clothes on, the weather is hot outside, so you might want to take you cossie with you. Make sure your purse of wallet if full of cash as it is going to be a long day.


Blackpool is the biggest seaside resort and most popular destination in Europe. Hard to belive but it really does have a good reputation.


Right we are all together and make sure you all stick together as it gets very busy as we all head down to the Pleasure Beach. The Pleasure Beach is open from March to November every year and attract around 6.5 million people a year. Rides are not cheap and they are categorised, you can buy a book of tickets which will save you money. There are childrens rides and sections all around here so there is fun for everyone. There is bingo, donkey derby, Valhella and the Water Chute if you do not mind getting wet, there is a massive carousel which take people back to by gone days of the victorian era and for those of the 1970s, there are Speedways and all sorts of scary rides, like the Cat and Mouse, Grand National, Revolution and most of all, the Pepsi Max Big One. After nearly passing out, I have insited that we all go on this one and now you are all strapped in safely and the buzzer has gone, lets go, Weeeeeeee, Ohhhhhhhhh, Yikeeeeeeees. When you get to the highest point on this rollercoaster which is the biggest in Europe, you have a fantastic view of Blackpool and the houses look like monopoly houses. At the top there is a camera and this takes a picture of you. Right now we are back down to earth, lets go on a few more things and then we can progress on our tour of Blackpool.

The Trams were first installed in 1865 and cover 12 miles of Blackpool, they are relatively cheap and when the illuminations are on, they are illuminated to trains and the like and they look really
good. Quick lets get this one now. As we are sitting on the top of the tram, we take in a breath of salty sea air and inhale it. How peaceful it must be to live here. As we are all departing we are heading towards the arcades that are strewn along the sea front. here you can play bingo, go on a donkey, play arcade games and slot machines. Oh don't forget the rock shops after all we all love that pink rock with Blackpool written through it and those who want to get a Kiss me Quick Hat, get one now please as time is running out.

For those who do not want to go into the Arcades, we will split up and go into the Sea World where you can see all sea life and experience the shark tunnel where you can walk and it is an eerie feeling when they are swimming all around. Great fun here and you could spends hours in here.

It is nearly afternoon now and some of you want to go and play on the sand and have something to eat here. You can hire deckchairs and they are normally around £1 a day. So if you want to sit down on the sand fine. We will get the picnic out and for those who want to go and get fish and chips do so over the road now and the kids who want ice creams, start queing up. Make sure everyone is smothered in sun tan cream as it is getting really hot and we do not want burnt people spoiling it all for us, now do we? Get your bucket and spades out and lets make some sandcastles and then let us all go for a dip in the sea. Ewww not very clean but well worth a paddle. OOer I have just spotted a fresh sea stall, well you cannot come to the sea side and not eat sea food can you.

Right come on the day is nearly over and I have to start to get you all back to the Hotels. There are many accommodations in Blackpool and you can either go self catering in a tent or in a caravan or maybe you want to stay in a bed and breakfast, or if you have a lot to spend then there are some very upmarket hotels. I would say that bed and breakfast should cost you n
o more than £15/£20 a night. Right as there are so many of us and your all in different accomodation, we will meet back here in two hours. Make sure you are dressed smart as we will have to find somewhere to have something to eat.

Right a quick check and everyone is here, well come on lets go to the Tower and see what is going on there, the tickets are still only £5 as we are still in winter season rates, so make sure if you decide to come in summer, check the prices as they will be a lot more expensive.
Well there is so much to do for everyone here and for all ages, there is the cirucs, the winter circus, the aquarium, the ballroom, galleries, and dinosaur rides and all sorts for everyone. You can ballroom dance or listen the band that pays tribute to the rat pack. there is kids zones to keep the youngster happy and most terrifying the walk of faith which is going to the top of the glass bottomed tower and it is pretty scary. Right meet back in 1 hour and then we will all go down to the gallery or one of the other restaurants where we can have something to eat and drink.

Phew, I am sweating cobs now, it hs been a really hectic day and many of you want to retire for the night but for the youth, there is a great nightlife where clubs are at full strenght till the early hours of the morning.

But from us, it is time to go back to bed and then tommorrow, we could always go to Blackpool Zoo or Sunbathe or Shopping. There is so much to do here but for now it is time to get my beauty sleep, night night.
