Peak Tram and Beach

Our last day! Difficult to believe...

Off we go to visit the Peak with a plan to be back around lunch time (more like 15:00) to go to the beach and to have fish and chips and my beach bar.

Someone is very pleased to be on the tram

Inside the tram - going up you face forwards, going down you face  backwards

With your tram ticket the normal marketing ploy of buy this and get this for this much. We bought the tram ticket, skipped the sky terrace part of the offer but bought the Madame Tussaud's part of the deal. What a blast we had in there - Caleb was a bit freaked out  by all these people just standing there - guess it is a bit if you not entirely sure why they look so real but do not talk back.

Once we got back to our beach, turns out the beach bar yet again has been booked for a private function! So that was that then. We swam in the warm water until the sun started to set. 



Then all that was left was to go and finish packing up, get a taxi and to leave for the airport.
