GREAT DAYS OUT WITH KIDS
Yesterday we decided to do something different with the kids.
We took the train from San Isidro to Alicante (€4,75 return), then took the tram from Alicante to Benidorm (€5,70 return). These services are great and had I realised they were available I would certainly have taken advantage of them before!!
We went to Benidorm specifically to let the children have a go at waterskiing. This was fab - it was only €12 for an hour (although they did actually get longer as they were enjoying it so much !!) It was more difficult than they thought but they all managed to get up and do half the circuit which believe me was amazing to watch!! They didnt want to leave and we will definitely go back!! You are taken around on a cable rather than a boat (as seen on Benidorm on ITV recently!!). To get to the cableski platform you take a pedalo which has to be seen to be believed!! The set up is good, wetsuits and life jackets included, instruction included and if (when) you fall off a boat comes and picks you up unless you are close to the cableski platform. The only downside was that there was quite a few jellyfish around and at first this bothered the children however they soon got used to looking for them and swimming round them!!
It was a fab thing to do and the kids cant wait to go back. Maybe theyve found a career opportunity here!!
I didnt realise that you could take the train and tram to Benidorm - this sounds like a great day out and would be good for when we have visitors over.
Never done the San Isidro to Alicate train 'thing' nor the tram to Benidorm or other places it stops at so a huge thank you for posting details in Services with such excellent additional info/advice.
We are there next week & will look further into going to Alicante if not further.
Have put details of the train, tram and waterskiing on the Services page !
