We decided to celebrate by blowing our remaining cash at the Trocadero.

We finally had a shot on the mechanical horse riding game – it was quite bumpy and I’m amazed we didn’t fall off.

Next up we went on a simulator, which wasn’t very scary, so we kept shouting “Oh my god, we’re going to die”. When we got out, there were some excited looking tourists desperate to get on afterwards – I hope they weren’t too disappointed.

We tried to win enough tokens for a Hello Kitty but I think we’ll have to go back with our 2p jar.

We went bowling, which started off in strikes but soon turned to complete gutter balls.

Tom made me have my photo taken with Mr. Funland.

We then went to the Trocadero for more arcade fun. It was a little more disappointing while sober, but we did see Mr Funland again.

It was snowing when we got out so we took shelter in the Trocadero.

I got my fortune told by Psychic Sarah and apparently my aura was blue.

They have a Batman whack-a-mole with Harley Quinn. I think I got in the way of Tom’s game trying to get a photo of her but we did get some tickets. We’re saving them up so we can win something special.

We got a super tacky lenticular keyring from a photobooth and a Trocadero squished penny for my collection. My two favourite things are photobooths and squished penny machines!

We always empty our loose change in to a tin that lives next to the front door but recently it has started to overflow so we took it to the Trocadero to gamble all the coins in the penny arcade.

Our favourite machine was the American Road Trip which played annoying little tunes for each state you passed through and it gave us lots of tokens for all the coins that fell.

I saved a penny to squish in the Route Master Penny machine which was broken the last time I was in.

We ended up with over 500 tokens by the end of the night – we’re saving them up so we can buy something special / tacky.
