Dear Stella,
I’m having a wonderful time in Blackpool. The weather isn’t
hot, so Mia and I have done a lot of sightseeing. We’ve visited
Blackpool Tower. It’s 158 m high, and it has a circus, a ballroom and
also a new horror/fact attraction called Blackpool Tower Dungeon.
We’ve been to one of its attractions named Labyrinth of the Lost. It
was scaring because we got lost in the tunnels full of mirrors.
We’ve gone to the beach many times. It was great because
there’s a mile (1.6 km) of sand, so we could walk beside the sea. The
water is cold, but we’ve swum in the sea and then we’ve sunbathed
for a short time.
We’ve also visited Blackpool Pleasure Beach, a large amusement
park which is a short walk from the beach. It is the most visited
amusement park in the United Kingdom. There were a lot of tourists
there. We’ve taken a ride on The Big One, the UK’s tallest roller
coaster.
