blackpool hotels!

So I've just watched this fantastic you tube video on Blackpool and although it did make me chuckle quite a lot (my friend Barry lives in Blackpool and many a time we've sat in cafes and I don't remember le 'otpot being on offer) it's brought back memories and made me want to go and visit him again.

We've been told it's going to be a hot summer this year, so I'm taking my bucket and spade and heading up there - Pleasure Beach here I come - it has the longest indoor rollercoaster waterslide in the world - wwwwwwwaaaaaaaahoooooo (I do seem to scream rather loudly on rollercoasters - I must start acting my age).


I'm off to stay in the Barcelo Imperial Hotel - a 4 star from £67pppn. It's located right on the north promenade and the rooms have views over the sea!


In case our weather men get it wrong there's a health and leisure club within the hotel with this great looking pool! Excellent for getting me in shape for the summer - I may still be carrying a little holiday weight from Easter... so speedos at the ready!


I'm wondering if there will be a lot of french people there after this video. Must get out those french tapes and practice so I can communicate correctly....a bientot a Blackpool!
