Day out tomorrow in Midlands Area??

[domtheone]

Was thinking of taking my German cousin (17) out somewhere in the midlands area tomorrow.

Not got any idea what to do

She's has no sense of humour, hard to please don't talk much

She'll be returning to Germany Monday (thank god) so tomorrow's the last day I can take her somewhere.

Any ideas for a day out

Sea life centre is good, so is the safari park and Dudly Zoo. The black country museum is fun too. If they are not your scene, alton towers is always good for a day out.

splash landings at alton towers...get to see her in a cozy
(not a close cousin i hope)

just seen she's only 17...sorry mate
take her to play golf

Did Alton Towers the other day.

apart from the fact that practically every ride was closed at one time or another (not to mention the Monorail and Skyrides as well ). it was ok.

Not sure how close a cousin though all she talks about is getting back to her boyfriend so won't be getting too close i wouldn't have thought! Don't think i've ever met anyone so cold and clinical.

She reminds me of that Ice Queen from Narnia

May be a looker but she's a right pain in the

Just did is as a favour to my Mum and her brother (his daughter).

I wouldn't recommend the Safari Park in August for someone who is hard going as it can take two hours of stop start motoring to get round and that won't be much fun with someone who's "hard to please and doesn't talk much"

Warwick Castle is a good day out though but maybe a bit pricey.

Point taken about the Safari Park.

I did mention London but I told her she would have to pay her way (i've paid for everything else this week) but she said it was too expensive

Might think about Drayton Manor Park and Zoo.

Never been there and i'm a sucker for White Knuckle rides

Can't take my camera though and fancy taking some pics as i've not used it for a while

I can definitely recommend Drayton Manor. We went there on Tuesday and a great day out was had. How people go on some of the rides amazes me. The rides start at 10.30 so i'd get there early to get all the rides in. The zoo isn't too bad either, if you like them.

Twycross zoo is pretty good. Dudley zoo is a bit of a hole these days and has suffered from, erm shall we say a lack of investment.

Black country museum is great, well worth a day out. As already mentioned drayton manor and alton towers are good but a little pricey. Safari park is pretty good too.

Stratford upon avon is pretty nice. Brindley place in brum city centre is ok, loads of art galleries and eateries and the sea life centre and the bullring are only a few minutes walk.

Can't really think of anywhere else.

Had a seriously sh*t week and she's the most miserable, uungreatful, spoilt bitch i've met in a long time.

Everything i've done for her this week, i've not had one word of thanks.

Frankly, barring her getting down on her knees, unzipping my trousers and there aint anything realy that's gonna save this week

The caverns are really good, I think that's the great thing about the museum. The whole approach is very hands on, you can even have a pint in the pub.
