Home from Alton Towers....

.... with a lot of photos!

Arriving at Splash Landings Hotel (in the rain)


The Splash Landings Hotel has a Caribbean theme -
lots of lovely details and colour everywhere.




We spent the day in the  fabulousWaterpark....


... before going for dinner - on the way Mr Ben met Scrat from Ice Age.


 We ate at the neighbouring Alton Towers Hotel....

... in the beautiful Secret Garden restaurant.


Mr Ben wanted some strawberry jellybeans - the dispenser wasn't working, so we asked the shop assistant for help. This was the result! Not our fault at all!

The next day we went to the theme park (in a LOT of rain)



It was astonishingly wet - but it didn't stop us trying out Rita (twice),
 Hex and Oblivion before 10am!

Mr Ben wasn't impressed with Rita - which he described as "terrifying"


..... however he was delighted by the Ice Age area and the "4D" movie.


We escaped the rain at the hotel, with 3 sessions in the pool.

The Master Blaster water coaster was one of the best features.



We ate at Flambos in the evening - a rather fabulous buffet.

 It was up early again for  2 turns on Nemesis...




.... which did involve rather a lot of screaming!

We had 2 rides on the Runaway Minetrain...


....and a turn on the Sonic Spinball.


 Eventually we were tired and wet, and it was time to head home -
 Alton Towers was just great - we'd love to go back.
