Godiva festival

Kev and Suzanne visited us for the weekend, so after a quick BBQ we headed off to the Godiva festival in Coventry. It was a free concert, with the Super Furry Animals headlining (who were excellent and weird as ever). However, the show was stolen by the support band, and Coventry locals 'The Enemy'. Amazingly the weather held out and we were treated to a great sunset, I can't say the same for our long walk on Sunday afternoon.

London maps

LondonTown.com have added a nice map to their website.

It has the tube stops and lines marked on, as well as some landmarks. You can also pan it around in the google maps style. Nice. It only covers central London, and is really geared towards hotels, but I think it's worth using to plan a trip!

Drayton Manor Park

Yesterday we decided to make ourselves feel dizzy and sick by going to Drayton Manor Park. The highlight of the day was 'shockwave', the UK's only 'stand up' roller coaster. It was one of those strange experiences where you think: 'why on earth did I agree to go on this ride' whilst you're slowly climbing up the first slope. For the rest of the ride you realise it was in-fact the most stupid mistake of your life. But by the time you get off, you think its brilliant and can't wait to get on again.
