Hey Guys
How are we all?
I feel like I haven't be on here in ages. Past few days have been busy at work and then me geting flu
Hate getting sick, but I figure I might as well post a recap to take my mind of things.
So we left off with dinner at Kona Cafe. From my pics, it looks like we went to AK the next day. A lot of fun, got absolutely soaked on Kali's which made us have to go back to the resort to change (I mean we were really soaked through). But all in all, a great day.
(Love this pic, makes him look like he has bed head)
(I had the sudden urge to get my face painted and met this lovely lady. She was super friendly and we chatted to her for a while, I think her name was Shannon)
After the soaking on Kali, we went back to the room to have a quick change where DF found a surprise waiting for him.
Back we went and look who we met at the gate.
Managed to catch a showing of The Lion King, which we loved and are defo going to watch again this year (we were in the Warthog Section).
We were now pretty much done for the day and had an a couple of hours before our reservation at Boma, so we caught a bus over to AKL to go and check it out. We loved it from the moment we stepped through the doors.
We went to Victoria Falls for a quick drink and here, I must confess, is where it went wrong. There were kids downstairs playing on the drums just outside Boma and normally I can tune out most noises, but these were sooooo loud and just went on and on and on to the same banging (no beat), I was starting to get a headache so we decided to leave. I know it was silly to overreact to kids doing what kids do, but seriously I think even the animals rang away with the racket it was making.
Next up MGM (as it was know back then).

The next day we went to MGM. Was not a bad day, as I must admit that this was not my fav park. We did mostly everything, except ToT (I chickened out) and caught our first showing of Beauty and the Beast. This is my favourite Disney movie and Belle is my fav Princess. I love love loved the show and cannot wait to see it again this year.
(Love this pic, Mike was all over the place so Sully had to hold him up)
We caught the Stars and Cars Motor Parade too.
We bumped into a member of the law. Who gave us a small caution and sent us on our way.
I got to meet my fav Princess, but must admit I got a lil bit tongue tied, didn't know what to say to her.
Well I think thats it for tonight, next recap is Sea World (which was alot of fun), so stay tuned

The pictures so far are from our first trip The upcoming trip will be our third visit to the world.
She is not well at all I'm afraid but I have been looking after her all day with medicine and soup.........and cupcakes
Woody is very tall indeed! One little thing to note if you look at my picture with Mike & Sully, Sully is actually holding Mike's back to stop him falling over haha! He started to lose balance and was leaning backwards so Sully was there to support him

Woody is rather tall, but then I am rather small at 5'1 and DF is 5'8.
Thanx, feel a lil bit better today, soooo don't want to go to work tomorrow though.

Hi Guys
How are we all today, enjoying the weekend?
Next up on our recap is Seaworld. I was soooo excited to go as I love Killer Whales and Dolphins and have never seen a Killer Whale up close before.
So we set off early and made good time. Had to hang around for a bit, but that was cool.
Then we headed on in and found this guy
After Shamu, our first stop was breakfast
I don't know what made us want to do a tour, but we went on up to the tour counter and chatted with one of the CM's who recommended the VIP Tour, so we purchased tickets and were told to come back at a certain time to meet our group and guide.
This tour was brilliant and I recommend to anyone that is thinking about doing a tour of Seaworld to do it. Its a long one, but you get so much done, rides and all, plus you get great seats for the two main shows and lunch backstage with the Killer Whales.
We first started off walking around and chatting with our guide, who was really good and v informative.
Now I must apologise if I can't give too much info, but I am v bad with my memory and can't really remember the whole tour, but will try my best to fill you in
We went to the KW tank where our guide proceeded to tell us facts about them.
This is in no particular order and I think that we did something else before this, perhaps went to look at the massive Shire horses and some other equine.
So after the KW tank I think we may have gone for a spot of lunch. We were led to a backstage area and shown where we could make our sandwiches (which was pretty cool because then you can have it exactly how you want it) and sat down next to the water where we watched the KW's swimming around. Was pretty cool as they were quite close, but you don't get to touch them and the trainers don't make them do anything special, except swim around.
After that I think we did a couple of rides, which we entered via the exit (which was pretty cool, felt like going backwards to the ride). We rode Kraken which is pretty awesome and also Journey to Atlantis, where we were unfortunate enough to break down, on the the outside corner, before you get inside watch the effects and then plunge down. Man it was hot waiting there, you could have fried an egg on my head the sun was beaming down that much.
After the rides we caught the Shamu Show Believe. We scored pretty good seats (as part of the package) and stayed out of the wet zone.
After that we did a few more bits and went backstage to go and visit some penguins. These little guys are soooo cute I tell you.

We then started walking over to catch the next show, Blue Horizons. Not a bad show, lots of marine animals in this show, including False Killer Whales which were pretty cool looking.
After that we went to go feed some animals. First up were the Sea Lions. We each got a cup of fish each (I gave mine to DF as I hate the smell of fish and will not touch them
).
We were warned not to wave the wish in the air or take too long giving them to the sea lions because the sea gulls would come in and just take them off you, nipping your fingers in the process. DF had fun feeding them, v noisy demanding guys, but cute all the same.
Oooh I forgot, at some point on the tour we also got to feed dolphins. DF had fun there too, but quickly changed his mind after one of them head butted his arm (said it was pretty hard too).
He also got to feed some Rays, which he said was rather weird. You have to put the fish inbetween your fingers and lay your hand flat on the bottom of the tank, then the rays swim by and suck up the fish into their mouth.
We had a great time on this tour and I am trying to persuade DF to do another one when we go this year (am now looking at the dif ones to see what else you can do). Will post my findings back here to get you guys opinion
