Blackpool or Liverpool?

The Pleasure Beach is a famous theme park which hosts Pepsi Max Big One – one of the largest roller coasters in the UK. What’s great about this theme park is that it’s located in Blackpool (the most popular seaside resort in the UK), Lancashire, England.

Thus, after visiting the theme park, we can go to variety shows featuring entertainers such as Ken Dodd and Roy ”Chubby” Brown, or even get ourselves invited in one of the controversial hen and stag parties. If we’re lucky, we might even get to watch the 8-day Blackpool Dance Festival - the world’s most famous annual ballroom dance competition of international significance, held in the Winter Gardens, Blackpool since 1920. Then again, we could always move the celebration to sometime September so we could catch the Blackpool Illuminations or Festival of Light which consist of a wide variety of light displays arranged along the entire length of the sea front, from lasers, neon, light bulbs, and fibre optics, to searchlights and floodlighting.

Which got me into thinking… we’ll need a lot of dough for this trip. Thus, we’re definitely going to avail of cheap Hotels in England; more precisely, cheap Hotels in Blackpool, to save on accommodation expenses. On the other hand, I saw some really cheap Hotels in Liverpool, the 2008 European Capital of Culture. Liverpool is celebrating its 800th birthday in 2007 which will be marked by a series of exciting events throughout the year. Could be more exciting than going to Black Pool… tough decision…
