Winter Wonderland

Decided to brave it and face London's Hyde Park Winter Wonderland. Good points: It's free to enter, it looks pretty spectacular (not your average Carny fun fair), there is loads of booze and german food (good point if you are into sausage), and there are some pretty awesome rides. Bad points: the rides are overpriced, you have to queue - a lot - for everything, there are a lot of people, really a lot of people and most of them are dragging toddlers and pushing push chairs, and to be honest the whole Christmas spirit thing kind of diminishes really quickly and you just want to start elbowing people in the face.
I reckon if you went in the evening without any kids and with loads of cash you could have an awesome time.

 The House of Fun was pretty fun.
