Day 16 - Orlando

Day 16 – Tuesday – Orlando, Florida

Ahhhh SEA WORLD!!! It was another packed day of walking, fun and frolicks. After Disney the day before though, we did try and take it a little bit easier.

We took in a few shows - a Dolphin/Whale/Bird one which was just amazing as well as (of course) the Killer Whale/Shamu "Believe" show which was incredibly corny but still wonderous. I LOVE those animals!

We also managed to get round to all the exhibits - all the usuals - crocs/dolphins/sharks/polar bears etc and a few cool ones like the walrus's, manatees and belugas.

We rode the Journey to Atlantis ride twice (Sea World's version of Spash Mountain). We did ok the first time, but second time round ended up as soaked as you would if you were to jump in a pool fully clothed!!! Thank goodness the weather was warm.

One of the last stops of the day was to be The KRAKEN - a huge roller coaster that had Jen & Dean running a little scared, but as luck would have it, just as we decided to go and ride it, it became "temporarlity out of commission"!!!


"Dean's Details" – Manatees are the funniest animal i've ever seen
