20 October

Went to La Ronde, the biggest theme park in Quebec. Unfortunately we only managed to go on 3 rides, one of which was Bob l'Eponge (Spongebob Squarepants), a 3D film type ride which, looking back, was probably a bad use of time. By far the least time-efficient ride, however, was Goliath - an old style (as in, hilly) rollercoaster with a monumental drop at the start and an equally monumental queue to match. After waiting for 2 or 3 hours we were nearly thwarted by the wind too, but ended up being some of the last people to be let on before closing time. Through various means we managed to get in for £2.50 each! Beat that, Alton Towers.
