Riddlesworth Day 3 - The Adventure Continues

Yuri reporting from Riddlesworth, Norwich, UK

Hello again.

Today we went to Pleasurewood Hills - a Theme Park. It was great fun, especially the Wipeout, a fast rollercoaster. I didn't have the courage to go but most students were a lot braver than me. They also went on a rollercoaster where you get completely wet which didn't really matter since we were already wet from the rain.



One small problem - some students became addicted to the machines where you put a 10p coin and it pushes other coins. Sometimes you make some money but of course you usually lose.


Another favourite was the "World's Largest bubble gum". Many students bought several of them. It's over 1 metre long. I don't think you're supposed to put the whole thing in your mouth at once.




This evening we are playing rounders which is basically like baseball. That should be fun!

A note on Rounders:


Played in England as long ago as the 16th Century, Rounders was a popular pastime. A version of Rounders is still played by folks in the U.K and Ireland. By the 19th Century in America, the game had undergone many changes, and was commonly called Townball. Today we play still another variant called Baseball.
