Friday was a fast past, crazy day. We finished our last day of cheer club and added some half pyramids and perfected the routine. It went so well. I can't wait for them to perform again at Camp A Presents. They've been working so hard so I know they will do amazing! When cheer was over, we had lunch and then break. I always have a nice relaxing lunch and break and it makes the day go by faster with a little break in the middle of the day.
After lunch we had rotating activities and free time. During free time, I got to leave early and get the cheer club ready to present. Shekka and I helped the kids paint their faces and practice one last time. We had Camp A Presents early because we needed to catch a train in Ely so when everyone came out and got settled, we had our performance. The kids did great! I was so proud of their awesome performance. They worked so hard and it paid off.
When the performance was over, we had cream the counselor. I got creamed by two sisters that were in cheer club this week. I was like, really!? lol. They were so funny though so I didn't mind. After we got creamed, we were heading inside to wash up when the fire alarm went off. So we had to stand outside with whipped cream on our face while we waited for the alarm to be set off. Great timing for the fire alarm. lol. When it was over, we headed inside and got washed up and changed to get int he car to catch the train in Ely.
We hopped in the car and drove to the Ely station. It was a fast drive and we were on the train in no time. The train rides were only 4 hours so it wasn't too long. On one of the trains, we met a guy when we couldn't find any seats. We got to talking to him and told him we were going to Llandudno for the weeked. And he said, "Oh. You mean God's Waiting Room?" Apparently Llandudno has a huge hospice and is also the place where people go to retire. Oops. Oh well. We knew there were lots of places to hike and it had beautiful nature so we didn't care.
When we got of the train in Llandudno, we walked to our hostel to drop off our stuff and then headed out to get some food. Apparently nothing is open past 10 on a Friday night. in retirement towns. Who knew? lol. We walked into twon center and found a pub and as soon as I walked in, my glasses fogged up. Along with being really hot, it was really loud and full of older people drinking, singing karaoke, and dancing with each other. The song that was playing was La Baum Ba and that was stuck in our heads the rest of the night. Since the pub didn't serve food past ten, we left to find another place. Maryanne hadn't eaten in a while and was super hungry and getting very cranky so we had to find somewhere to eat.
We found a late night fish and chips place that had other food as well. We all got a little something since we were kinda hungry. Brittany order a side of mushy peas and the guy asked, "That's it?" It was the funniest thing ever. The couple that was standing in there was laughing along with the guy behind in the counter. Apparently mushy peas is supposed to be order with other things but Brittany just wanted to try them since we'd heard about them before. They weren't anything big, just mushed up peas. Makes sense right? lol.
We grabbed our food and decided to walk along the promenade while eating our food. It was gorgeous. So many lights and beautiful hotels. Definitely a nice night to stroll along the beach area. When we were done eating and walking, we headed back to our hostel and went to bed.We had a long day of hiking the next day so we wanted to be well rested.
Cheerio.
