Sherwood Forest Center Parcs 2008 pt 8
We got up and packed this morning. I collected the car from the car park. I’m glad we weren’t up and about on Friday when people were leaving, its mad out there! There is a 10 mph speed limit and cars are supposed to give way to cycles and pedestrians – unfortunately this is reality, its a wonder there hasn’t been an accident.
After squeezing a quart into a pint pot, (well that what loading the car felt like,) I took the car back to the car park and rode back to the villa. We locked up and took the keys back to the Information Centre. I handed the keys back in at about 3 minutes to 10am, 3 minutes to spare, no problem. As I was heading back to the bikes there were still cars coming on-site, I think they would be pushing it to vacate their accommodation by 10am.
Another slow morning today. At least it’s stopped raining. After people leaving on Fridays had gone and their cars were out of the way, we went went up to the Nature Centre again. We were going to sit in the centre and watch the birds a bit, but as the weather was bright and sunny, we went down to the hide again. After we had been down there a while we came back and went to Forestors’ Inn in the Country Club for lunch. Jo and I had steak and ale pie and the kids had breaded chicken and chips. The waiter we had was the same one we had in Strada last night, I joked we had found him on his day job. The atmosphere in Forestors’ Inn was very relaxed and the food and service was great. The kids had a lot of fun in the play area at Forestors’ Inn and enjoyed their food.
We went into the guest services this morning and reported the heating problem. Then we crossed the road to Jardin Des Sports, where the kids had their pre-booked activity later today. Again, like most of the other facilities here, it was noticably smaller than its counterpart at Elveden. The kids went and played outside in one of the children’s play areas before went went across to the adventure golf where we played 9 holes.
