On the 7 December, we went on a trip to the much talked about Winter Wonderland in Hyde Park. If you haven’t been it is the place for fun! Anything Christmas-like, you will be able to find it within the parameters. It is a so called “Funfair” but on a much larger scale with rides and rollercoasters scarier and more dangerous than the likes of Alton Towers. There are countless numbers of stands serving food from hot dogs to mulled wine; you can even get your Christmas presents from here.
When we got there, we didn’t know where to look as there was an abundance of entertainment wherever you looked. So, about 10-15 of us decided to go on the bumper cars, which naturally meant we took over the ride. In theory, we thought we had to go easy because there were children in a couple of the cars, but that was a misjudgement, they were more ruthless than we were!
After walking around for a couple of hours, we had a buffet waiting for us in the classy “Spiegel Saloon”. Everyone got free drinks and free food, which I think made everyone’s day. It was nice to see everyone enjoying themselves and for KBS staff and students to be together collectively outside of the classroom. There was a chance for everyone to get to know each other especially because it was the end of the semester. At the end of the day, we were all relaxed and all we wanted to do was to go on a few death defying rides (aka BLIZZARD) and play some festive games!
