Day One
Hello from a very foggy Great Yarmouth
Had a very stressful day today and I will tell you all of my day to day goings on up until Friday
Unfortunately I don't have my camera usb, so now day to day cameras, but I'll add a bunch at the end
So let’s start. We (Me, my mum, my sister, my mum's boyfriend, his two sons (Aged 5 and 7)) set off this morning at a delightful 12:06, and after a long journey witnessing an unfortunate fatal crash, we arrived approximately 3 hours and 4 mins later. We are staying at a caravan park known as 'California Cliffs', about 3 miles from Great Yarmouth.
We had arrived early, but anticipated our caravan would be ready as virtually all others were. Nope. An hour later, we got our keys and I directed my mum to our caravan.
'Oh', we thought. The caravan was titchy, and I mean titchy. We had booked a sliver caravan, however this appeared to be one of the smallest bronzes ever. We got in, and I couldn't fit, my head touching the ceiling the whole way through. We had only four beds to fit 6 of us and only two bedrooms. Not only that, it was not cleaned very well, with the bathroom floor covered in mud and the windows covered in bugs. Off we went to complain...
...Back we came 10 mins later. He had negotiated to get another caravan as well as the one we already had, but the other caravan was the other side of the park and we had to pay extra for it!. 'Yes!', I, my mum and my sister thought. 'We can get away from those annoying, loud, bratty kids'. But my mum's boyfriend wasn't having any of it. Off he went to complain again.
During this time, a cleaner came from the site to clean the bathroom, he came, cleaned and went and we were pleased. He arrived back. We had been give another caravan, a sliver one, on the the other side of the park, but this time without the one we already had. So, we packed once more and headed to collect the key. Guess what? We had to wait another hour for them to clean the caravan.
Finally, we had a caravan that we paid for.
So, at about 7pm, we had finally managed to secure our residence. Off to the clubhouse we went. The entertainment was, well, entertaining and the arcades were, entertaining, but something was missing. I popped into the sports lounge to catch the final 20mins of the Peterborough v Millwall match, while the rest of the family got a few drinks. The little boys left at 10pm to go off to bed, so just me, my mum and my sister remained. I paid for a pool table and challenged my mum, who plays snooker regularly. Naturally I won, playing with excellent style and precision.
And off we went back to the caravan, with fog so thick that you couldn’t see 3 foot in front of you (no exaggeration)
(In the style of the Bible) Evening fell, and morning came, that was the first day.
