old town

if any of you have not been to old town i think it would be wise to check it out. it is kind of set in the cowboy theme with old wooden buildings full of wonderous shops like the magic shop, the black market shop and more. also they have special evenings that consist of locals bringing in the cars and bikes that they have done up. when ever you go you can be assured that theres loads of people there having a laugh with live performers and dancing in the streets. its a blast.

it really is the "biz" it just proves that you dont need to be a large park to have fun even though i do enjoy the parks to. i think it is the scene of the place that makes it feel so great. wat sort of puppets do they do there because i must of missed that shop.

No, we can`t stand it there either. We did go to Fun Spot last October which is right next to it as one of ours sons nagged us senseless to go on the G-Force car. He went on with DH and then he went on again with his elder brother. It is a mad ride, beserk if you ask me!! Once they had finished, we were out of there as fast as we could.

We spent a load of time in Old Town last time, as we were just staying down the road. It was just a couple of mates and me. We drank a LOT there lol. It was alright, fairly busy I guess for the time of year (September), but we liked the bars there, went to the Karaoke place a fair bit.

We'll more than likely pop back there this year, although we're not staying near there this time

There was a nice English run Fish and Chip shop when we were there in January. The food didn't look very attractive but the Fish was great.
