Hi! Blare Gardens is excellent! This is best holiday we've ever been on! I love the rides here. I've been on the roller coasters before but nothing is like the one they've got here! And food is great, too. I usually don't eat the hot dogs but hot dogs here are great. So is pizza. Do you like the theme parks? If so, you've got to get your family to come. The only problem is crowds here. People have to queue to get everything - even the toilets! See you soon, Nicky
