Whilst the first day is usually planning and relaxing. You know what awaits - The time to jump in the shower, putting on your best evening clothes, and then heading to the pub.

The following morning, breakfast time! Breakfast just tastes better on holiday, but more importantly, a fry-up is so damn good.

After breakfast, it’s time for the morning walk along the beachfront - usually with kids, and dogs acting like they’ve eaten a bag of sugar, rich with excitement.

You notice, that the majority of holiday-makers and residents say “good morning”, you nod and reply back with a “good morning”.

During the morning walk, you have to decide what you're going to do for the day, but you won’t have an itinerary, and you know sitting in the arcade all day is going to cost a fortune.

As soon as lunchtime hits, you head back to the caravan or you go for the traditional fish and chips, with a quick visit to the arcade - typically the 2p machine.
