spooky trail firework display cheaper room milky coffee
I attended the Halloween and Bonfire night event. This spooky trail was great. The fireworks were good! There were also nice huts with food and drinks.
The night before travel, I checked online. I discovered the same stay and room was cheaper! I also asked for a cappuccino but received a milky coffee. I was told they do not have a barista machine.
