Movie Park!

Back into Germany today; this time a two and a half hour journey to yet another theme park called Movie Park. I realised that I had absolutely no idea where I was on the globe, so I texted James who looked it up and told me "You are across the Rhine north east of Dusseldorf and near Essen, Dortmund and Duisburg, all famous for the 1000 bomber raids." So that's where I was. This was the biggest of our three theme parks, George had arranged it that way deliberately so that the pupils would not feel any anti-climax. Not surprisingly it is all about movies and we went to lots of rides. I was rather taken aback at how scary I found one of the rides; a train which made very sharp jerky turns and you felt that you were about to come off the tracks! Apart from that I am becoming more confident about going on rides; I used to go on plenty when I was younger but after I had the children I kind of got out of the habit. Today was very, very hot! I don't know the exact temperature but it was scorching and I had to seek out shade! The two and a half hour journey back was very hot too because the buses don't have very good air conditioning. Now we are back at the hotel relaxing.
