This year I had a girly holiday with my sister and a friend, before my sister went to Granada for her year abroad. We had an amazing time, and loved every second of it, however it was quite interesting.
Whilst there I learnt a mixture of things, ranging from good to bad, wacky to helpful but in the end they are facts that I will keep with me....for future reference of course!
So here are the 10 things I learnt whilst at Center Parcs:
1) Getting lost increases your daily steps - and if you're carrying a heavy bag, say for swimming, you use your arm muscles too!
2) Heading towards the hotel isn't always the right direction - you may end up with a longer walk, but it could be on a scenic route!
3) You're braver with bugs without your parents present - especially when it comes to spiders - but it may just be you, and not your sibling!
4) Always check if the oven is gas or electric, and wait for heat to be felt before calling Guest Services!
5) Odours of men and women don't mix well in changing rooms!
6) It is possible to get stuck in a torrent of water - and you can even go backwards in this torrent (It was on the rapids, so my friend had to come back down and give me a push!)
7) If you're a football fan, then the Sports Café is the place to go!
8) It's better to go out and eat, than to cook - especially if your parents are absent!
9) Earwigs don't like cucumber!
10) If you report a leaking toilet, don't leave it till the last minute (for reporting or contacting Guest Services back) because you might get something out of it - perhaps a voucher!
These are some things we learnt, and I must say it was a really great trip at an amazing location - Elveden Forest. So if you fancy a short break away from work, and the hustle and bustle of everyday life then head to Center Parcs.
Until next time....
