Day 2
I woke at 12.15, 03.30 and eventually at 06.30. Tony slept like a baby – when doesn’t he – but we found the queen size bed rather cramped. Now, we’re neither of us skinny, but we’re not large either but we do have a 6’ bed at home and so we’re used to space. We decided to try using the sofa-bed as well that night.

We wandered to the Marketplace to buy some things for breakfast, bread, fruit etc, and get a coffee and we ate it outside watching the antics of a little squirrel who was running up a tree, running down and then starting again. We then walked to the International Gateway to exchange the PAP voucher for the prized pass – the cast member serving us must have been new as it took absolutely ages to process. Keen to try a new experience, nothing to do with being lazy, we took a Friendship boat back to BC via the Boardwalk.

We had planned to go to Mall at Millennia and with a directions card from the Valet parking desk, we set off. Halfway there we decided to go to IOA instead. It was really quiet there at 10.30 with waits of no more than 2 mins at most. We passed on Hulk and Duelling Dragons but did Spiderman, Jurassic Park River Cruise, The Water Rafts, Flying Unicorn and Sinbad. By now it was 1pm so we decided to go back to BCV via Goodings for some essentials. We spent a couple of hours beside the quiet pool before dinner at Boma which was very nice but very busy and oh so noisy. After all the hype, I felt I must try the Zebra Domes but I found them rather sickly. Tony bought an Indiana Jones type hat in the shop – hope we don’t see ANYONE we know as he looked ridiculous!

Back to BCV by 9pm in time for the fireworks again.
 
A nice easy start to your holiday Gill. Can't believe you didn't attempt Hulk and DD - two of my favourite rides.

Any chance you could put a date on your reports please - it always helps me when trying to work out how busy it was on a particular day and compare to busy/quiet day charts - sad, aren't I? :rotfl:
 
Another good day ~ Thanx for sharing.
 
Sounds like a lovely day, you have reminded me of the squirrel at Sea World we were sitting on a bench when one came over and climbed up to the seat where he put his front legs on DH's lap to see if he had anything. :sunny:
 

Sounds a very "chilled" start to the holiday. Thanks :)

Another great day...I like spur of the moment decisions.
