Our little chalet was lovely! As our trip was our Valentine’s Day gift to
each other, we decided to book a ‘VIP’ chalet.
This meant that we got lots of nice little extras, like a Jacuzzi, a sauna,
and a lovely lakeside location.
The
weather was still VERY wintery while we were there. The lake was frozen over, and we had a few
flurries of snow. As snow
always does, it made the water and forests look even prettier and more magical!
Of course, we hired bikes for the week, and got a lot of use
out of them. Our sunset bike rides were
my favourites!
We also played a bit of
table tennis, went for a few walks, visited the farm animals, fed the ducks, and
did lots of swimming (well, floating around on the ‘lazy river’ and whizzing
down water slides more than ACTUALLY swimming if I’m perfectly honest). There were some wonderful, hot outdoor pools
too. I think my favourite bit of the
holiday was swimming outside, while it was snowing!
This Center Parcs trip didn’t involve much other sportiness. We spent the rest of the time drinking hot
chocolate, eating pancakes (it was Pancake day while we were there), watching
movies, and snuggling up in our chalet.
Of course, I did a bit of crafting while we were there (more
of that to come in another post). I also took
LOADS of photos. I
wanted to experiment a bit with the news lens Simon bought me for
Christmas. I lured in lots of little
birdies with tasty snacks, and they made the perfect test-subjects! I really like the photos I took of them.
We had a wonderful, relaxing week! The only thing we didn’t like was having to
leave!!!
Why do holidays always whizz by
so quickly???
Now we’re looking forward to our next one.....
