General
Well here it is Proberly one of the worst holidays ive been at,
Day one, We waited in guildford town center to be picked up bu coach, it was 15 mins late i said i bet the Roberts family curse of holiday travel will hit again,
It arrived 15 min late, from the outside the coach didnt look to bad, but then walked on board and it was like walking onto an late 80s style transportation, horrible greeny brown curtains and decore, all the coach buttons were all warn out,
we were ment to sit at the back of it, 3 rows to the back.
It was not cleaned Properly and bits of dirt on the floor,
Had no toilet or coffie avialbale neather, witch it was sopposed to have.
We heard on the journey there by other people the orginal coach wouldnt start up and had broken down, so had to replace it with this old crappy thing, some people had been traverling from Portsmouth from like 6am in the morning,
As the journey started it was raining yes dam uk weather.
We got into Woking town center, we then relised the driver witch was a woman went through 4 red lights i saw, and becuase this coach had no sat nav, we went round the town center 3 times to try and pick these people up from the back of the train station, she hadnt a clue were she was going, another probelem we had to stay with throughout 3 days.
I had some lady sitting next to me from woking that was sopossed to be an empty seat as this coach was not layed out properly, as it had an old toilet sign abouve the door, but had been modified to take 5 extra seats,
Anyway bit verthaer on the journey one more person to be picked up, was the lady corrior, she was totally useless as well, allways got of first and on last without helping anybody of the coach.
As the coach microphone didnt work neather, nothing did not evan the old radio and cd player, witch i tryed to get working.
Anyway most of the 4 days on the coach i listend to my 2 mp3 players, all differnt music must of got through like 30 albums xd.
Anyway to yorkshire we were heading, in the afternoon after the mid afternoon stop in the welcome break places.
we finally got to Holmfirth the place were they do the BBC1 show last of the summer wine, if youve ever seen that show.
It was nice little town but weather was dull still, i have a few photos to be put up.
Getting back onto the rust bucket and heading to the hotel, guess what diver got lost again took wrong route and made another half an hour into the trip, We all laughed as she went strait past the hotel, driving too fast arriveing at last at 8ish.
Now onto this hotel, of well not so good stuff.
Quality hotel it was called, in Chorley. Quality my ass.
Nice welcome in though mind you, then into my room, All flourestant lights when you turn all on, evan abouve bed energy saving ones, flickering for 5 seconds before coming on.
bed was massive though for me double,
but mold in the bathroom, on the shower walls.
Dinner was a late half past 8pm Plates were cold, but food okish.
Back in the room you could here people next door as the walls where paper fin,
I went into the lounge you can pick up wifi free so tryed on my psp, got through to it so chatted to Joe and Chris a little on gobuddie.
I slept ok, part from fan noises till like 1am with people in the bathrooms.
Next day Saturday.
Breakfast was at 8am waited in the que for ages as the self service was not up to much, waiting for eggs to arrive.
Okish breakfast finsihed back on coach at 9:15am, heading towards Oswaldtwistle Mills, About 10 mins in the journey going round an roundabout heading onto the M6 the Coach suddenly started to sway left to right really badly, felt as the wheel was about to fly off its hinges, everybody was like wohhh whats happing here especially as were about to speed up on the motor way,
she had to stop on the hardsholder for 5 mins mins to cheak it all out, it scared me as i was on the back of the coach now, as we swapped seats for people moaning to sit next to each other, erlea on.
It did it twice as well on the way to the mill.
Going roun the mill that had actually been turned into an shopping center morelike, witch people moaned about that too,
i felt worried to go back onto this manky old thing.
Going back on we were sort of told the driver had the Coaches Boat stabaliers on, so it makes it rock more like if the coach ws travberling over seas.
Well least that carmed me down more.
We headed to southport now, Luckaly it was very nice weather sunny and quite hot.
Spent all afternoon here tons of tons of shops, massive great big pier mile long, we played crazy golf, into the amusments and walked round shops, actually nice afternoon.
on the way back got stuck in traffic witch was long for an hour as it was very busy bank holiday saturday.
got back to hotel about 7:30pm ish i think so decided to watch tv a bit in the room and fresh up, the tv channels were all mucked up, only 6 of them too.
Dinner was ok, but service was slow again.
finaihed late, karaoke in the main area was pumping out load music till 1am.
But slept ok again after wards listing to space gypsies on my headphones, next room proberly wonderd why i was laughing.
Day 3 sunday, we went to the lake district got lost again on the way there had to turn back again xd.
In bowness on windermere.
Very nice weather again, Boat trip acoss the lake nice took loads of photos allso soon to be up here. Waving to people
traveling on little boats next to us.
On the way back, we went through loads of little villages, and up some very steap hills and roads, the coach just made it up these roads, like 5mph lol.
Stopped right on top of this massive hill to take some pics, and sight seeing.
Too ages to go backl again, all down widing roads down hill.
In the hotel having dinner, this woman got up and shouted thats it ive had anough, as i think she was allways being served last and cold plate dinner,
I was having curry, it was ok again, but took forever to come out. plus other things i guess annoying people, as for the coach and hotel and other little anoyances.
Day 4 went to chester main town for morning till 2pm ish.
traverling for ages on the way back guess what we got into this town way too early of the motor way again adding more journey time onto it.
When the usless corrior got of first at her stop, no body clapped or gave her a whip round as she was so useless, but you felt sorry for her i bit i guess.
finally at 8pmish got back to guildford.
So all after all, crap coach crap hotel, but nice weather and areas, so i guess 50/50 holiday, mum said i want my money back now xd.
Right thats it for now ill write more about da and life later in the week.
