Week 11, Trip to Alton Towers

I was still feeling little bit sick at this week. I don't know did I get a cold or was I too stressed about everything. I have been several times sick just after school end and now I didn't have any pauses to this day and next break I have is 2 weeks around Easter.

At the beginning of this week there was a shower of hail at outside. And just on the time I walked to my school ( 2 minutes walk). What a luck! I was so confused at first. I won't remember when was hailstorm last time in Finland either.

Almost whole week I was siting at the workshop and carving and sanding my foam shoe model. I had really fun time doing it! I was so scared it would be like pain in my ass, but it turned out to be really enjoyable. I haven't done anything in a so long time so I felt I don't have any skills anymore. During doing my shoe, many people came to say to me that is really good looking. Most of the people were random people from school. Even the master of the workshop said, I was doing nice job! :D

At Saturday, I had again long day. I was thinking to work this weekend with assignments, but this one guy said he wants to go at Alton Towers theme park at it's opening weekend. It's hard to say no to people you like. :D So we went there. 

Alton Towers is theme park, with hotel villages, in Staffordshire. The site was built in 1860 and theme park was opened in site in 1980. Alton Towers is special theme park with lots of space to wander, inside forest and it's located middle of nowhere. There's lots of gardens and old buildings with ponds. 

   

Gotta say it was fun day. Crazy rides, beautiful views, nice company and good, cheap food. There was some rides which had some crazy features I had never experienced before. One of the rides went so smoothly, it even felt good all the time. Usually I go to crazy rides cause I want that adrenaline feeling, but this didn't have it, but still one of the best rides ever had.

After theme park closed, we went to forest near Alton Towers and saw sunset and Alton castle. You could get to the theme park through forest, one side of the theme park does not have fence. I also found Mölkky, Finnish game from near theme park, unfortunately I couldn't take any evidence pictures cause  I didn't bring my phone in there.
