Today turned out to be a glorious day. Well at least to start with.
This morning up and out the door by 9 o clock. Not too far to go today. Went and visited animal kingdom.
So started out with our usual walking walking and more walking. Got to where we cross the road. So should we go this way or should we walk that way and see if security sees us. Well we took the long way . It isn't much further and I think it is a better route anyways. You don't get as much traffic this way as the way we where walking the first couple of times.
Well we got up to the front entrance without any one coming to stop us. Yes did it again. So now just through the gate and we are in the park. No shuttle to take this time. Just straight walking.
We headed left. Went into camp Minnie and Mickey first. Saw all the characters posing for their pictures with people. An I didn't go to get my picture taken again. I saw Mickey the other day and had my picture taken with him.
After we came out of there we went into Africa. Got on a truck heading back into the tundra to show us some of the animals around there. We saw elephant, rhinos, lions, giraff and some different types of elks. After we got out of the truck we walked through an exhibit of more animals. Here we came upon a few monkeys and gorillas. After coming out of that trail we got on a train that took us deep into Africa. There we saw a few lizards and some very colourful birds. Allot of parrots and then there was a petting zoo with some goats and donkeys in it. Back on the train to get out of there. No way to walk out of there. Had to take the train.
The next stop was Asia. Here was another walking tour to see some wildlife. There was tigers and some monkeys playing around. This was also where one of the rides was. Water rafting. Looked like fun but had cameras and such that we didn't want to get wet. So didn't go on. Oh well could have maybe got to cool off a little with some water.
After Asia we came to dinoland. Not too much there to look at. Seemed to be all an arcade type place with a few rides. Yeah a couple of roller coaster to boot. Started to stear away from there. Arcades and roller coaster still are not my thing. Lunch was in order then. Found a place to have a burger. Sloppy was what it was. Made a big mess at least not on me.
Now out of Dino land and came to a show being put on. It is a bugs life. 3 d so you could see these characters like you could touch them. A few special effect to go along with the show and it felt like you we're sound under the ground with these bugs. Bugs yuk!!!
As we came out of that show the parade was suppose to start in a few minutes. So staked ourselves out a place to watch it. As we where sitting there a couple of kangaroos jumped out behind and enclosure where we where sitting. Interesting to see them.
The parade starts. You have lots of acrobats, Donald, goofy, Minnie , Pluto and Mickey riding on floats. Performers dancing along to the music and coming over and getting high fives from the kids around there.
Okay parade over so take a little trek up to the tree of life. Saw all the carvings on it. Very pretty to see. As we came back down from there the parade had made it back to where we came out. Watched it a second time.
Well that is it for the day. Started to head for the gate. That is when the problem started. Thunder rolling but no lightning. Then the heavens opened up. It just a lured. Water water everywhere. It jus came down. Now what do we do. Are we walking back or finding a taxi. We wait it out for about half and hour. Just a pouring. Are we going to get anywhere or are we stuck here for awhile. Then it starts to let up. Yeah! So we start walking towards the gate. Everyone else is leaving as well. Great there will be allot of traffic going out now.
Well half way across the parking lot and the sun goes away again and it starts it raining again. Not as bad bi put it is raining. So we wait under and overpass and hope that it lets up enough to get on our way. Especially before any security comes a callin. Don't need to run into security again. Well after about ten minutes the rain lets up and it starts getting humid. So we make the rest of the trek back to the resort.
Well that is our adventure here. No more walking. My legs I don't think will take much more of that. I came feel them cramping at night. And my knees and hips are telling me lots of stories here. At least not as bad as what they would have at home but they are telling me.
So tomorrow is a day to get ready to travel again. Make sure all is packed up and nothing is left behind. We where thinking of taking another trip over to sea world but if the thunderstorms are going to threaten again we will just stay close to our room and maybe check out the junk oh I mean souvenir stores around here. I keep looking at those outback hats they have. I would like to get one but where would I wear it afterwards. I do like those hats though. Hmmm!!! Bout enough junk already.
So that is our trip. Thanks for listening. I know not much of a writer but you get the jest of what happened. Two days from now will be in the cold weather of Ontario for a couple of days. It is still snowing there. Yuk!!! Glad it is only for a couple. I don't like the idea of freezing me butt off. Which is what I think is going to happen since I did not bring any warm clothes to go out in. Layer coming up. Brrrr!!! Then home wet home.
I DON'T WANT TO GO HOME. PLEASE DO NOT MAKE ME. PLEASE. IT MEANS WORK AND RAIN AND ME WITH SORENESS AGAIN. I do miss some people and animals at home and my own wittle bed though so have to get home to them.
Well see you all on the flip side. Brrr! I am feeling the cold already.
