Road Trip to Center Parcs Eleveden Forest - Day Four - Breckland Apartments
Night time at Breckland |
Onken 0% yoghurt, with apple, banana and strawberry |
We had a late start this morning as Lauren's hay fever flared up in the night, meaning we were up for an hour with streaming noses and sneezing. I finally manged to make the air con fans come on and that seemed to give enough respite for us to get back to sleep.
We were going to go out for breakfast but we opted for the same breakfast as yesterday and we would have lunch out instead.
We did manage to get out in time for our activity for the day - 10 pin bowling. It was ultra violet but not as bad as Sherwood, so we were spared any blushes. We managed 2 full games for our 45 minutes, but we were both pretty rubbish, Lauren had the buffers up and I just threw my shots everywhere. We had a draw in the first game 85 each and I just pipped the second one thanks to some fluky spares.
After a panic over a lost bike helmet - mine - located down a settee in the leisure bowl, we decided we would have a bike ride before lunch. Today we decided that we would take every left turn we came across as opposed to yesterdays every right turn, no downhill dead ends this time.
Steak and frites and schnitzel and frites with celeraic slaw and some dead watercress |
Our next stop was to go and pick up our pottery pieces that we lovingly created on arrival on Monday, think they've come out great, just need to get them home in one piece.
A quick trip to the supermarket to take back The Lost City of Z. I found it a bit dull and we both fell asleep before the end. Lauren said it was interesting as it's a true story about an explorer of South America. We decided against renting another DVD as we've been mostly listening to Spotify or the radio and not watching TV.
Back at the apartment we had some time playing Uno which I won and then Skip-Bo which Lauren thrashed me at. We decided on another bike ride before tea time, we wanted to find the bird hide - turned out not to be too difficult as it was within spitting distance of the apartments, we managed to see a spotted woodpecker, some pigeons, a couple of jays, a nuthatch, a great tit and there was a Muntjac wandering around.
We watched it for a while and then as the F15's had gone out after a really quiet morning we decided on another bike ride. The weather this afternoon was glorious again, we have been really lucky, although the news from home is that we are set for a change tomorrow and we may have soggy saddles when we wake up in the morning.Lauren - "What do you call cheese that's not yours?" Me "Dunno" Lauren "Nacho cheese" (not your cheese!!) |
We're now sitting in bed listening to the radio and thinking about another hopefully full nights sleep in our comfy beds.

I was not thinking about the Shining at all when I took this, honest! But if I see twin girls tomorrow I'm off! |
Breckland's kitchen is fully equipped with a combination oven/microwave, a ceramic hob, a fridge with freezer box, the all important dishwasher and this, a wine fridge! |
