As this is our final full day in the caravan, we sleep in until 8:30 (including kids!). After breakfast, we explore Rhyl centre which is full of vape shops and charity thrift shops. We buy a “new” sweater for Cleo for one pound.
Then, we take a final dive in the nearby sea. It’s super low tide, but high tide is coming in quickly. We first build a dam, but it only survives a few minutes.
We take a swim and then build a castle with Queen Cleo on top. Also this castle is destroyed in minutes. We say goodbye to the sea and buy some lunch at the next door Morrison’s supermarket and eat it at our terrace while we do our laundry.
When the laundry is hanging to dry in the sun, we tell the kids we have a surprise. Zeno jumps excited into the air: “riding a tractor!” Is his wild guess. We tell him he’s close, the first two letters are right and it’s also a means of transport. Cleo guesses a train. Zeno burst in tears. A tractor would have been much more fun.
Luckily the kids like it when they see the small steam train and track around the lake. It’s a five minute ride, 25km per hour. The train whistles at all crossings. We don’t see much steam coming out, but it’s still fun.
We go for a second shopping round, on the hunt for gas for our camping kitchen, but it’s not succesful. They only sell other types of gas containers and halloween decoration…
We go for a last dip in the pool and a playground date to finish our week in the holiday park. It was a sunny week with much swimming and playing! Tomorrow, we sleep in a tent again.
