A cracker of a day meant we had to head to the beach! Southend-on-sea is about an hour and half away from where we live so we thought we would head there for the day. Southend-on-sea has the longest pleasure pier in the world. It was interesting to see how different the beach was to back home and how packed it was as well!
When we arrived it was around lunchtime so we had to have the traditional fish and chips by the seaside. After filling our bellies with fat, we made our way down the 1.33 mile pleasure pier. It is so long you can take a train down the end instead of walking, but being the healthy bunnies we are we walked there and back. After our walk we checked out the theme park and with Em and I being the adrenalin junkies that we are, we had to give the rollercoaster a go. It was awesome! Coming down from the high of the rollercoaster we made our way to the arcade where we all became addicted to the 2p slotty machines. We aren't the biggest gamblers but at least we had fun!
