Day Eleven Sunday 24th September
Cast:
Claire (Me) - Initiator, planner, over excited one
Mike Goes with the flow
Today we got in the car and made the drive to Busch Gardens now the DBF was used to the car and driving in the USA. We got there really quickly and joined the queue to get in. I knew before we got there that there was no way I was riding the big rollercoasters but Mike wanted to so after grabbing some breakfast we headed to the first one.
Throughout the day he rode the big 5 plus the smaller 2 which I chickened out of as well. We both rode the 3 water rides which I thought were really good and I enjoyed squirting people on the rapids and spent a few dollars doing that while DBF rode one of the coasters.
Saw all the shows which I was a bit disappointed by including Pirates 4D which Id seen in Thorpe Park 20 miles away!
I liked the Skytrain as you got such a good view but we didnt get a chance to go on the train as when we went the next one was in 45mins which was too long to wait.
The Safari was also very good but I though the Disney one was better and I loved the animal exhibits.
Stopped off at the Golden Arches on the way back where I local asked Mike about his t-shirt as it was his Lost one from MGM and they didnt understand it. Then it was straight back to the hotel and a bit of Deal or No Deal, so better than the English version!
