The day started very leisurely with several coffees and an early (for me) breakfast before I wandered down to the pool. I tried to get a couple of photos without including too many people - not easy.
I had a really lovely swim and a good relax before strolling round the shops (again) and then heading back to the hotel for lunch.
A few more photos from my balcony.
In the afternoon, I strolled away from the village centre towards the Spa to find the gym, taking a few photos on the way.
The gym was rather nice. Not big but big enough and it was pretty much empty. The equipment had clear instructions so no problems using any of it and I gave myself a good work out of cross trainer, weights and a cool down on the cross trainer again. The sort of thing I might do with Lindsey, in fact.
I'll have a go at the treadmill tomorrow - walking rather than running. I need to build up stamina as Jen has persuaded me to take part in the Race for Life again in July.
Then it was back to the hotel for a very welcome coffee before I went out again to wander along the very small beach and through the centre again as I could feel myself stiffening a bit.
This is the hotel/apartments, by the way.
Here's some photos I took on the walk.
Not it's evening and I'm going to shower, wash my hair and chill. I hope your day has been good too. Take care, sleep well and sweet dreams. xx
Lovely photos Joy, there's such a lot to see and do at CP isn't there, even without all the expensive stuff. All that exercise should mitigate any 'holiday' eating! Have a good sleep xx
ReplyDeleteSuch a lot. I think if you were there with the children, you'd have to spend more and I paid for the gym pass but that was a one off for the whole time and I can go as many times as I want.
DeleteYou can't outrun (or outswim) a bad diet but, yes, it should all help! And - holiday . . .
xx
That's the kind of holiday I would enjoy - some exercise, a bit of sight seeing and window shopping and lots of free time to relax! Very jealous!
ReplyDeleteI'm really enjoying it too, Chris. Having a lovely time. xx
DeleteWhat a lovely place to visit. Look at all the different birds!! That pool looks absolutely lovely.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
Center Parcs is good for wildlife, I gather.
DeleteYes, the pool is great. It's what sold it to me and my little family nearly four decades ago and, while I don't do the flumes, etc nowadays, it's still a great load of fun.
xx
It looks as though the weather is holding for you, too.
ReplyDeleteIt really is. I'm sitting by the pool and the sun is shining through the dome. It looks lovely. xx
DeleteIt's lovely that you are having such a nice time, the activity level sounds just right.
ReplyDeleteAlison in Wales x
I'm cutting the gym today because I spent loads longer in the pool and am really tired. But I will definitely have another session tomorrow. xx
DeleteThat little duckling is so cute.
ReplyDeleteIsn't he. I nearly missed him but mamma and Papa were nearby, keeping a close eye on him and I noticed them first. xx
DeleteNot sure where you are. I cannot keep up with your traveling lol. Also not familiar with the area. Have fun and relax Brenda
ReplyDeleteI'm at Center Parcs which is in Thetford Forest, Suffolk. Google maps would probably pinpoint the location. xx
DeleteI have missed some since you post in the evening
ReplyDeleteAre you in hotel

Sorry
Love your blog as always

No problem but it's still there in the morning too . . . :-)
DeleteI'm staying in a self catering apartment in the Lakeside Hotel at Center Parcs, Elveden. Yes, on my own, although I'll likely be back in the Autumn with Beth and Alex.
And having a lovely time. xx
Great!,,,, Brenda
DeleteWhat a lovely place to enjoy a vacation. I love seeing all the wildlife!
ReplyDeleteIt is pleasant. I've been here for a number of breaks and it's always lovely. xx
DeleteWhat wonderful wildlife you've been seeing. Great views!
ReplyDeleteGiven how many people there are on site, the wildlife is good. They do have a policy of being 'wildlife-friendly' as much as possible. xx
DeleteGreat photographs, Joy.
ReplyDeleteCentre Parcs looks amazing, with plenty to keep you busy. And it must be lovely to have so much wildlife close by. Xx
It's the best of both worlds really. So pleasant all round. xx
