Center Parcs with the Center Parcs lot.



So after a gap of  more than 20 years, we went back to Center Parcs. No children with us this time though😞Hard to believe that all our children are grown up now with families of their own. Charlotte had some of her old videos converted to DVD so we watched them and reminisced about the old days when we were young and you were even younger👧👦 
Our Villa. We had a super duper all singing all dancing one this time round. It had a sauna,steam room,hot tub and a games/tv room. All the bedrooms were en- suite too.
                  The back.

All a lot more luxurious than the standard accommodation.

The boys, beers in hand. No change there!


We also had our own wildlife. These little deer came every day. Some were quite nervous but some of them were bold enough to get really close.


So, what did we get up to?
                        We played some crazy golf.



                                                     
                                                              Rode bikes.


Played badminton









Played short mat bowls

                                             
Rode on Segways
Getting our instructions. All a bit nervous to start with but we soon got the hang of it


Having a little practise.



After about a nanno second of "training " we were off out into the big wide world of Center Parcs, where we would have to avoid people on foot, people on bikes,and children. We were also supposed to follow very simple basic instructions. Some-one chose not too and that person fell off👴
Off we go.


and back we come.


This is supposed to show "Segway" on the back of our tabards but it didn't come out very well.


Yay ,we made it 👏


We went bowling.
 
We went swimming.
Does this bring back any memories? It seemed really small!



Aqua Sana.A bit different from before. I think this is a new building as the old complex burnt down several years ago.


The blokes did quad bikes while the ladies were in the spa

Can't see who is who with the helmets on


And ,of course, we spent a lot of time doing this.


Sometimes we even drank coffee 😁

While the others went for bike rides or shopping, I had a little wander and took a few photos. The following is just a random selection.




Me trying to persuade the little deer to come a bit closer. He did, but scooted off as soon as the camera clicked.





I've put these at the end as they don't really fit a category. In one of the restaurants they had a table magician. He was actually very good. Obviously, impossible to film him doing the "trick" but as you can see Med was highly amused



Final photo, the good old Country Club.
