Review of Madame Tussauds
29 Apr 08, 17:17
Great day - VERY expensive 
This is a great day out - but be prepared to spend a fortune. If you book online you'll get them a bit cheaper. Trouble is, these London tourist attractions always cost a fortune because the management know there will always be 1000 Japanese tourists willing to pay the money. Adults are £22.50 and kids are £18 (I know!!) I love the dungeon, even though it's quite scary. If you've got kids they'll love it. The Cameron Diaz model thing is so spooky, as are most of them. Good thing is they measure them exactly so you can see ACTUALLY how small Kylie is and how big J-Lo's bum is. God I sound like such a geek. Definitely worth a day out but make the most of it because with the costs being so high you probably won't want to go again!

Review of British Airways London Eye

Watch out for the dry humpers 
This really is a tourist attraction and a half... I went up in it ages ago and it cost me £12. You're always going to pay loads for something like this. It's so slow but you do get an amazing view. I do have to warn you now though: If you enter one of these pods, you WILL be surrounded by dry humping couples. I don't know if it's something to do with the change in altitude, but suddenly you look around and feel like you're in someones bedroom. I'm all for a bit of romance but please! I'm not a huge fan of things that lock you in either... but you have to go on it once. Just take some wasp spray or something for all the couples!

Review of The Canal Museum
28 Apr 08, 18:39
Great day out 
This is set next to the Grand Union Canal in Stoke Bruerne. The village is gorgeous with loads of pubs. It's so nice walking the dogs along the canal... the museum gives you an insight into the 200 year old story of our waterway transport. I know it sounds boring, but it's not. You can even try on clothes from 200 years ago. I went on a school trip years ago and I always remembered it because it was so much fun. Definitely worth a little expedition out to!

Review of Rookery Open Farm
28 Apr 08, 18:28
BEST afternoon out
This is one of my FAVOURITE places EVER! I love animals so much and this place gives you the opportunity to see them close up. If you like farms, you'll love this place. They have sheep, horses, pigs, cows, chickens, rabbits.... the list goes on. However, I don't like the way the owners let young children go in with the goats. I saw a brat chasing a baby goat round and round until one of the staff told her to stop - I don't think it's fair on the animals and her parents' will be the first to complain if she gets booted in the face by the goat's horns. I think you should respect the personal space of animals just as you would with a human, but having said that the staff do seem to keep a close eye on what is going on. The animals are well kept and very friendly - the cows will let you stroke them and the pigs come grunting over to you for some love. They have a tea room and a children's play area (which is so noisy). The worst thing about this place is the number of screaming children running around... best to go on a weekday early and enjoy a walk around without Beatrice and Isabella screaming and falling all over the place!

Review of Brighton Pier

You don't get better than this
I love this place!! I go to Brighton quite a lot. It's the ideal place to get away and chill out and there is nothing better than spending the day on Brighton Pier. I was there a few weeks ago and my friend and I just sat and drank and ate all day, played in the arcade and had our tarot cards read (for £20 - bit of a rip off but has to be done). It's so fun. You wouldn't catch me going on any of the rides of death as they look like they're held together with chewing gum, but it's fun to watch!
