That fish

...is a puffer fish and I saw it for real in London wet market.

Look so fierce!

His and mine

Blackpool

I bought the return train tickets to Blackpool with First TransPennine Express (cost £23 each). The journey starts from Glasgow Central to Preston (via Virgin Train), then change another train to Blackpool Pleasure Beach. The journey takes about 3 hours.

I made a big mistake by getting into the wrong train at Preston to Blackpool. We suppose to take the direct train to Blackpool Pleasure Beach but we took the wrong one to Blackpool North (this is the town area of Blackpool). Haiz, too excited. *think positive* We got the chance to do some food shopping there before going to the south for our Travelodge hotel. We walked in the rain and waited for the bus to go to our hotel. *pity mode

For your info, there are 3 trains going to Blackpool and make sure you take the right one to save time and energy. Don't worry, there are trams, buses and horses to bring you around the small town.

Grey sky greeted us 

The pretty horse carriage caught my eyes

We went to the games arcade center to try our luck on this 

 I love this toy but the machine is shut down at that time

Blue sky pic was taken on the same day but around 6pm

Another water park at the town

-we are not interested-

Saw another entertainment while walking

Me admiring the sunset at the beach

The passerby laughed at us when we posed for this pic

*of cos, it's my idea*

 Another entertainment center 

*slept and woke up with a happy face for the fun next day*

 

 

 

 My wristband allows me to play all the games

*The actual price for individual wristband is £35 but I used the Irn Bru promotion cap BOGOF and bought 2 wristbands for only £35. Check its main website here for more discounts.

 

 We have to scan this barcode at every entry point of the chosen rides

 The first ride - spaceship

 Queuing for our turn to fly sit on the spaceship

 Our second ride - ghost train

 Scanning barcode in progress

That's our ride *not scary at all*

We walked to the new section of Pleasure Beach; Nickelodeon Land for our next 8 rides. Actually we can play as many as we want, we were just too tired and scared to go for the high rollercoasters.

They are building something new for 2013

 

 

Spotted my favourite game - bumper car

I persuaded my hubby to join me playing for the second round *childish me

 Those are the rails of the scary rollercoasters

 We rode the car at Grand Prix

 Water fountains inside BPB

 Oh banana, you are so handsome!

We stayed in Travelodge South Promenade for 2 nights (first night costs us £25.50 and the second night £35.75). There are 3 Travelodges in Blackpool so choose the one that suits you most. I chose this one as my main focus is Blackpool Pleasure Beach. 

 I love Travelodge - big room and everything new

 =Tired but happy us=

The rides we got on BPB: Flying machines, Ghost Train, Steeplechase, Grand Prix, Dodgems, Chinese Puzzle Maze, Blue Flyer, Nickelodeon Streak, River Caves, Impossible, Valhalla


Review: Blackpool is just like an entertainment town for the British (online source said that it's their playground by the sea all year round). We came there once and spent the whole day at BPB and that is enough for us already (I can't survive there - too boring).
