So up early for another fun filled day.
The weather is getting a little hotter here. Usually when we get up first thing in the morning it is a little chilly. Well not this morning. You could feel the warmth in the air already.
So up at the crack of dawn, down stairs and having some breaky. Then back up stairs to grab our stuff that we would need for the day. We then walked over to the sea world parking lot where we had a shuttle booked to head to Busch gardens. Not sure where that was suppose to be so wandered around the parking lot for awhile till we found the spot. We go up to the bus that is parked there and he says not this bus, another will be here in a moment. Finally the other bus comes. It is half full already and by the time all are on the bus is full along with another but
Bus behind which is filling up as well.
Off we head. Traffic isn't too bad we have a movie playing on the way over. Since you really can't see out the windows as they are blocked by pictures advertising on the outside. Might have napped a bit on the way over because it didn't seem like that long a drive.
Into Tampa we go. Straight up to the gate at Busch gardens. Now that is service and it is allot easier then driving. Off the us and in through the gat. Okay there isn't much of a lineup to get in and it is already after ten o clock. Maybe this might be a good day.not too crowded. Lets hope.
Now check the map and we are on our way. As we walk we get ourselves turned around a little and heading into a monkey area. There is a few little kids there watching the monkeys. A funny thing happened in there and cleared out all these kids in a big hurry. Parents rushing them out of the exhibit. It seem two monkeys are having a little knookie in front of the glass. Exabitionist and not shy about it. It sure did clear out all the parents with small kids though.
We come out if there and head for the train. This train is and old steam engin that goes around the outside of the park. You ride it around and get to see the areas that are blocked off to humans for walking. You get to see all the wildlife in this area. Elephant, giraffes, zebra and lots of elk. We road the train the whole way around and got ourselves oriented.
From there we got off the train back where we started and then headed to the sky ride. A tram that goes over the wildlife and you can get a birds eye view of the off limit area. You se a few different things from that height.
After we are off the sky ride we started walking around. Made it back to the front of the park and went in to see a show. This show was called Iceploration. There was skaters acrobats and a bit of a story line about going off into the serigetti. And music. The show was about half and hour.
After the show we headed over to get a bite to eat. My gosh was there allot of food to the plate I ordered. Three pieces of fish, six shrimp and frenchfries. Soooo good. I don't think I will be eating anything else tonight. You know I was right. I just had a piece of pie tonight and no entre. I am still stuffed.
After lunch was over we took the tram back to the back of the park. Checked out another show going on there. This was was full of lively music and ballroom dancing. That was allot of fun to watch. When that show was done we checked out the rest of the park.
Yeah yeah walking walking walking. That seems to be my new motto for these parks. We decided we where going to take the train back up to the front. But couldn't do it as two of the trains where out of commission. So I guess it is walk up to the front. Not that long a walk. We stopped for awhile and watch the people coming down the roller coaster and through the water. Then stopped at another attraction and watched the people getting wet there. The line ups where not long. You could get on any one of these rides today with out no wait at all.
So now back up at the front. We have a little time before the bus is to go. So we sit and listen to some jazzy type music being played at the theatre. When that was finisiphed I went and picked up a picture of the two of us and then out the front gate to hop on the bus that was already there. Allot of people already on the bus. No one wants to pay a 300 dollar taxi ride back to Orlando. Including us.
The ride seemed to be much linger on the way back. Traffic is just nasty. We just crawled along. Finally being dropped of at sea world and then having our little walk back to our hotel. Supper for me was just a peice of pie. Yeah was not hungry. But ate pie while hubby had something to eat.
Tomorrow is moving day. Time to get into the time share a friend has loaned us for a week. This is over closer to Disney area. So hopefully after the move we will be able to find shuttles to get us where we want to go over. Also hopefully there is wi fi there so I can keep up with my fun filled blogging.
I know no one is interested in this anyways, but it is a way for me to go back and remember oh yeah I did that. Like a journal
So talk again tomorrow from a different location. Bye for now
