Islands of Adventure, Luau & Golf- busy day!

Today we had a switch to our 'schedule' so went to Islands of Adventure which is in universal, now compared to Disney the rides here are pretty crazy. I came here when i did camp america so kinda knew my way about last time i got a great photo in the entrance with my mates so was keen to get another fun one.




So we headed to the one we thought would be busiest THE HULK this is very fast upside down twirly wirly around but great fun, but it was so quiet we just walked on.





Then we headed onto the Spiderman 3d ride which is also a favourite of mine, someone rob convinced me to go on a water rapid ride only because it was a Popeye one, before i got on the ride i asked which was the driest seat, they just laughed and said was i kidding oh dear!......................

We were on crazy rapid where the water flew in the boat soaked our seats, through waterfalls so right over our heads, completely soaked top to bottom- could not believe how wet we got!





We were wet all day it was a bad day for me to wear denim i had a soggy bot ALL day not very nice.

Rapids

One of the fountains

After we plopped our way from this ride we took a few snaps in the cartoon area





As fun was Toon Lagoon was it wasnt patch on Doctor Seuss land, this was a favourite of mine last time i was here so was excited to go back and take some fun photos!







As we were heading to the Laua quite early tea wise we thought we would have a early lunch so went to Mythos which has been voted top theme park restaurant for 6 years in a row, it was all cave themed and really nice meals.




rob tried to be experimental and didnt like it lol

My meal was yummy (yes i know i look silly)




Walking around this side of the park there was alot of construction going on then we remembered



they were building Harry Potter Land, how terribly exciting we tried to look but couldnt really see much due to open 2010 so a while to wait yet i guess.

As with DTD there was a xmas shop here which i loved and took lots of sneaky photos and bought some fabby new decorations.





great arent they, the grinch things were all really fun and it as hard not to get carried away in here.

We headed off to the Luau after this which was at seaworld so headed back to the hotel for a change and made our way over to seaworld which was a 10 min walk from our hotel woo hoo!




We were seated to a very strange starter which was a salad with orange sauce on it with banana bread- have to say i didnt touch a bit of it yack.

The show started and way great with dancers, fire eaters and al-sorts really good





The meal was nice, with fish, chicken, rice and ribs, i had no clue what the pudding was so rob eat both or ours lol.we met the tiny dancers after the show


Now as this was now our last week we were really trying to cram in everything we wanted to do and one thing was a little more crazy golf, so off we headed onto IDrive for some golfing fun.
Rob chose a Congo River one with live Gators which were very popular out there, so there was a plane crash, car crashes in water etc and it was a really fun course.







We had crazy fun and just got back to the hotel before a almighty downpour when it rains it really rains here!
