Sunday 14th September
It was still dark as usual when we woke however we took our coffees out by the pool and had a quick swim while they cooled. Once it had got light we had breakfast and were thinking of getting ready for Universal when we saw a balloon.

The park was very quiet and the ride was a walk on.
As we came out they were getting ready for the Blues Bros show

We met them just around the corner.

Through the candy store with loads of toffee apples

and some strange candy

Stopped at the Ice-cream kiosk for my Dipping Dots

This replaces the Back to the future ride. Think the simulator cars are the same. As the car starts off you go down a huge drop on a coaster which was fantastic but after that the ride gets quite bumpy and non of our party were impressed and we all voted it a miss.
We then saved ET

Next it was off to the dockside for a boat trip.

We must have been unlucky on this trip because we got attacked by a shark.

Halloween decorations were well under way as we walked round.

After the park we stopped at Down Town for a sandwich and a look at the sights and believe me there were some sights.
