1hr sleep on the plane, tired and grumpy
And what are you greeted with when you return, dirty Manchester airport and bus drivers who tell you that you can’t bring any drinks onto the bus, welcome home!

The worst part of any holiday is going home, BOO!
But a last chance to see a few things such as the WonderWorks and the upside down house.
Airport we are at now, car dropped (918 miles travelled this journey, most of that was going backwards and forwards on the 192).
A chill now before our flight boards at 1am UK time.
Again with the BOO, but still a great holiday.

It’s 8.50am here (1.50pm UK) and we have had our last dip in the pool before leaving this lovely villa. Now trampolining and electric panda riding beckons
At food last night, whilst looking for a WiFi network, we stumbled across this (obviously someone having a little chuckle)

Yum Yum
This time round there was only a 10 minute wait so Mrs Fogg jumped at the chance of a vibrating token to notify when the table was ready, don’t know why
And the size of the cheesecake, it’s a wonder Anericans are not huge

Second to last day before we return and after our monster Halloween bash last night and bed at 2am, it was a late rise, with a womble to a new posh mall called Artegon, with ride on electric animals, indoor rope climbs, zip wires, adult trampolines and doodle walls.
Tomorrow we are doing the trampolines
Oh and lots and lots and lots and lots of GUNS

Well what an absolute blast that was, in the park for 4pm, then placed into a holding pen whilst security cleared the park of non horror goers. The main doors dont open until 6.30pm, but if you are in the park you get to start the attractions at 5.30pm.
Nine horror houses, 4 horror zones and 2 shows are the order of the night along with the main park attractions such as the Rocket (yes Kevin I am now two more up on you now and the last one at 11.30pm in the pitch black which SO ROCKS).
The horror houses are an absolute hoot, at one point I thought Mrs Fogg was going to scream herself to death and deafen me in the process.
In the horror zones actors are dressed as witches, zombies, vampires, fishermen, convicts and killers, all haunting you and jumping out.
Simply AWESOME and so worth it, even Mrs Fogg liked it.
And now at 12.15am (5.15am UK), we are all parked out!

Well I’ve got Mrs Fogg into the park ready for the Horror Halloween night (check it out online), now all I have to do is just keep her here, so food helps as does alcoholic beverages.
By the time you are all tucked up in bed at 11.30pm, Mrs Fogg will be screaming her lungs out, by 7.30am tomorrow it will be all over and I’m sure I will deaf.
