After finishing Uni but before finally coming home, me and my flatmates got to hang out. The weather wasn't the most co-operative for my final few days there but that didn't stop us having fun.
We took a trip over to Windsor and went to visit the castle as one of my mates hasn't been for years. As it was a Sunday the chapels were shut but we all got our tickets stamped so that we can return within the next year for free.
At least the weather stayed nice for us to walk around the castle. The next day we went to Thorpe Park as there is 2 for 1 or Adult goes free vouchers everywhere. I'm not the best on upside down rollercoasters so I was the bag lady that day. I prefer the water rides at Thorpe Park anyway.

If you've been on Tidal Wave then you know that there is no way to avoid getting absolutely soaked, so we decided to leave this ride till last. While we were in the queue we discovered that each boat was being sent round twice as there wasn't long queues (as it was a week day and schools weren't out). We ended up right at the front and on the way up to the top, we got stuck. It's only the second time I've been stuck on the ride and at least one of the guys running the ride came up to chat to everyone while they were fixing it. The weather also started to get colder and wetter. When we finally got going, we only got soaked once as they wanted to do some test rounds with the ride.

At least there are "Heat Wave" cubicles around the park where you can try to warm up and dry off. As always we finished out trip off with donuts.
