Day 4

Day 5

By Harper Kubaisi and Oliver Warren (the resident bloggers)

Theme park fun today, after a long journey and a bit of a wait! After arriving at PORT AVENTURA we had a little issue with the tickets because they forgot to include the meal deal! I mean what are we supposed to do without our food? Anyway, after we got the tickets sorted, we entered the gates and found a place to meet then we split up into our groups and scattered to all corners of the park. 

They had a great variety of rides! There were rollercoasters, water rides, log flumes, beat the bull and so much more! We didn't know were to go first! As we wandered throught the park we came across a ride called 'stampede', the queue was only 30 minutes so we decided to give it a go and it turned out to be one of our favourites! This ride was not quite like the others, there was two queues leading to two different carts, one red one blue. You had to pick your team and race the other cart to the finish! The ride was fast, thrilling and intense, the two teams battled it out to the finish and red triumphed, twice! We left the ride to explore the rest of Port Aventura.

We continued walking through the jungle of rides until we reached one of the largest. Dragon Khan, a monster of a ride with over five loops and various corkscrews! Soon we found ourselves upside down with no idea of which way was up or down, after we tottered along to collect our bags and went, warily, towards the photos.

In the boiling heat we needed somewhere to cool down and a water ride seemed the best way to do so. We went to the one with the shortest queue but this avoided ride turned out to be one of the best. We all clambered aboard onto a boat, all armed with water guns, the aim to squirt others and get soaked! After various battles and drenches we dabbed for the camera. A photo we all bought at the end. 

Throughout the day we all made pit stops to refill our stomachs and quench our thirst. There was so much food we didn't know where to go or what to eat. Eventually we settled at a Mexican restraunt, where we all ordered burgers and fries. As we were finishing our meal, a show began on stage. Mexican dancers flooded the stage and began showing us their moves. Let's just say we had to make a hasty retreat. After the main and a few rides we went on a hunt for icecream and all other things sweet. It didn't take us long. By the end of the day we were full, exhausted but had loved every moment of it! We headed back to the hotel for a well earned sleep.

NOW OVER TO THE STAFF. To all parents, what an amazing group of children. It has been a pleasure watching friendships form and the smiles on their faces. Once again, they should be asleep soon.......we hope!

Adios
