Weekend Break at Eastbourne

I would like to say thank you to CHICS for a lovely weekend break at the Imperial Hotel in Eastbourne.

I went with my mum and dad and brother David. We got the coach from Alder Hey on the Friday 13th of December. The journey by coach was very long and tiring. It took about 9 hours, stopping off several times so we could stretch our legs. When we got to the hotel, we quickly put our things in our room and went back down for something to eat. The hotel had a meal all ready for us. It was really nice. Then they had a disco down stairs. There was a disco every night.

On Saturday, after we had breakfast we went to Drusilla's Zoo where they had lots of animals and a park, we had a barbecue dinner while we were there. Later when we got back to the hotel we had our evening meal. When the meal had finished father Christmas came round with presents for everyone. David got a countdown game, I got a hair drier and mum and dad got smellies (soap and moisturiser). Then we went to the disco. Oh, we also had a "snow ball" fight with little polystyrene balls.

On Sunday, after we had breakfast, we went for a walk down to the beach, it was all rocks, stones and pebbles, and it was cold and wet, but we enjoyed it. We then went for a walk around the shops and bought a few things. Later we went to see Jack and the Bean Stalk at the theatre, I had a nice time at the theatre, it was very funny.

The next day, Monday, after we had breakfast we had to come back home, although the journey was long it was quicker than going, it only took us about 6 hours.

We had a really good time at Eastbourne and I would like to say thank you for the presents they give use.
