weston-super-'nightmare' and banksy dismaland

Neither of us have ever been to the west side of the country so we just booked a train from Liverpool and our adventures begin!
This turned out to be a very touching and poignant journey, with an unexpected pathos, while at the same time - dark, disturbing, rubbish and not exactly fun, location for our short holiday.

We couldn't get an online ticket to get into the exhibition...
So...we came without tickets and were being told to: 'No chance, go back home!' - by a man outside Dismaland' ticket office, we smiled and didn't believe him, no one there knew quite sure - what was real there, what was meant, -- we were already - 'bemused' !!
