The alarm went off at 7:30 and we had several snoozes this morning.
Happy Birthday to my DH.
We left the hotel at approximately 9:50 after a breakfast of cornflakes and toasted cream cheese bagel.
We arrived at Busch Gardens just before 11:00 and it was really really quiet. No crowds at all.
We headed to the Brewmasters club to book on the 3:00 tasting session and then went off to feed the birds. I love this bit however, I did get POO'D on this time all down my left arm.DH found this really funny - I didnt find it quite as funny!!!!!! Although, I must remember to get a lottery ticket
After the birds, we decided to have a go on the Log Flume as it was HOT and humid today. We dont really go on water rides (well DH doesnt), as nothing worse walking round wet lol. We dont do too bad until the start of the last big hill when we crash into the log in front of us!!!!! We wait a bit and then an announcement comes on that the ride has broken down. Next thing we know, employees are coming to rescue us and we have to climb out of the log, jump some of the water to the side and down the hill!!!!!!!!!!!!
We are taken round the back and issued with a pass for a ride of our choice with no waiting.
A quick go on Sheikra (5 min wait time), we headed to Pirates 4D but this was closed due to refurbishment. We decided to go and squirt some people on the rapids - no water - closed. Kumba was also down!!!!
We decided to ask and apparently there had been a power cut in the park and they were still trying to get that side of the park up and running again. We headed back to Timbucktoo and rode the scorpian and cheetah chase.
We had a look round Jungala and watched the tigers. They were very active and it was funny watching one of the white tigers go for someone looking through the glass (only cause it wasnt me lol).
It looked like Kumba was up again, so we nipped on (again no wait) and then headed to the rapids. We spent $11 squirting people and worth every cent
gig: gig: gig:
After squirting, it was time for our tasting, after which we grabbed some lunch at the smokehouse. We both had beef brisket in a spinach wrap. It was ok but the brisket was smoked which put me off a bit.
I decided I wanted to feed the birds again and made DH do it too rather than just take pics/video. He got POO'D on TWICE - 1 on each arm HAHAHAHA - whos laughing now - we definately got to get those lottery tickets.
We jumped on the log flume and managed to make it all the way round. DH moaned he was now wet. We hopped on the cable car over to rhino ralley and montu again no waits.
It was finally time to come home and only took about an hour again. We had some heavy rain as we got close to Kissimee, so we decided to skip Fantasmic for tonight.
We are just trying to decide what to do for tea but I am sure it willl include a trip to Bahama Breeze for some Bahamaritas lol.
Tomorrow - Typhoon Lagoon & Blue Man Group
