[Ad- gifted experience] Dann and I are always looking for new places to eat! Whether it’s a sit down restaurant or a quick takeaway, it’s always a fun time to try new food and enjoy a meal together. Midweek, we decided to treat ourselves and head over to Luton to try out the new Gao Express location, which is a Halal Chinese takeaway (with limited seating inside) that has a bunch of fantastic dishes to choose from.
I feel like we always go to see some sort of animals during the Easter break. Last Easter we went to the London Zoo, so this time we went to the Whipsnade Zoo, which is also a conservation that has a lot of different animals, a train ride, a butterfly garden, an aquarium, and so much more. As we went during Easter, they had some Easter-related activities but are honestly hosting a bunch of different activities all year long, so there is always something to do.
As a birthday gift, Dann booked a night at Luton Hoo Hotel, which is a large, historical manor, with a spa! Everything that I really want in a day of relaxation. We spent a night in the hotel, went to the spa for quite a large amount of time, roamed the grounds, and ate dinner at the manor. This was quite a relaxing experience and we very much enjoyed a night to ourselves, away from work.
When staying at the Luton Hoo Hotel, you can stay in the manor or you can stay in the nearby building which is basically touching the spa. Due to wanting to make the most of the spa, we very much wanted to be nearby instead of in the main building. We did spend some time roaming the manor, which had sitting rooms, lots of different historical items, and beautiful tapestries. There was a bar here and it’s where the meals are served. You can easily take a car (they drive you the 5 minute journey down the road) to the house we were staying at.
[Ad- gifted experience]Â Dann and I are both big fans of food and do enjoy a good amount of spice. We often try spicy food, use hot sauces, and enjoy chili oils! With that in mind, neither of us had much knowledge on spicy chilis, peppers, and the lot. So we both were really excited to attend Edible Ornamentals‘ chili tasting for two, where we were able to tour Cherwood Nursery, taste a bunch of peppers, and learn a lot!
