After a few quiet weeks, Walk On Water is back! We were hoping for some good weather to make up for the last two holiday, half term and Christmas, and the gods smiled on us – the sun was blazing!
Our first special mention for the holiday goes jointly to John, aged 68 and his wife Sylvia, a spring chicken at only 64. They spent their Easter at Sunset Bay and decided that the kids needed to be shown a thing or two about how to challenge The Balls! After having a go John’s comment; “The brain said go, but the body said stop!” Sylvia declared “It was brilliant, I would recommend it to anyone, it is safe and fun” We couldn’t have put it better ourselves!
We visited Laguna Park 1 and were deluged with kids all wanting to have a go, no hamsters, but several brother and sister combinations all trying to outdo each other.After 2 hours we ventured off to Sunset Bay and Harbour where we were disappointed to find it was really quiet. Until we blew up the Balls, suddenly there were children everywhere! incredibly well-behaved, they queued for their turn beautifully, a real credit to their parents, who were enjoying some well deserved peace and quite – at the bar!!
Finally we headed off to one of our favourite venues, Garden City. As expected the pool was packed but Kate and Gabi managed to get everyone organised into some semblance of order and we were off. Special mention at this venue has to go to Charlie who accepted the challenge twice and was a real superstar!
Another day – another venue, or two, Princesa Dacil was first up and we were pleasantly surprised to see so many Spanish children waiting. Although we didn’t have any grown up, the kiddies held their own, including 3 siblings, each tinier than the last who were adorable!
Bougainville Playa was next on our list, although we had some trouble finding a plug point that worked – to many freezers on in the bar! – we finally got going and were amazed at the antics of some of the challengers. We even had one little girl doing hand stands and cartwheels which was a first!
Laguna Park 1 and 2 were filled to capacity, unfortunately meaning that we had to turn some children away, which we hate doing, but most of them are still here so perhaps they will get lucky this week.
Shame also for people waiting to have a go on resorts in Golf del Sur, the wind on Sunday was so strong it wasn’t safe to take the balls out – but we will see you all on Wednesday instead!
Happy Easter to everyone!
