Day 19 - 3rd October
Woke at 8am, got ready and headed down to Abbey road to take the shuttle bus to Volcano bay
We had just missed a bus so went off to get a boat but the guy at the boat dock told us it would be quicker to wait for the next bus, so back to the bus stop and 15 minutes later it arrived.
We were there quite quickly, off the bus through the tunnel
Up the escalator
And we had arrived
As you can see we had brought the rain with us, it was a chilly, wet, grey day! through the gates and picked up our Tapu Tapu.
Tapu Tapu and off we go - to get changed
Now i am at Volcano bay - a water park! but i wouldn't be swimming as i left my swimming costume at the Yacht club!!
so its just these two checking out the park on this chilly day.
We walked around and took in the sights, I found a seat and waited with the bags whilst attempting to stay dry and warm under an umbrella.
Ma and Scott went on one slide which said it was a walk on but 20 minutes later they finally made it on, they both enjoyed it but the weather was not great and they were cold so we called it a day.
Rented towels $5 each non returnable deposit, they had showers which they both said were clean and then we took a bus back to the Hard Rock to drop off bags and wet clothes.
We had been trying to face time my niece and nephew finally got through on our walk over to Islands of adventures and we said we would be back in touch when we were in Harry potter land.
We walked through the park and straight to Jurassic digs for lunch, we always sit outside here but it had started to rain again so we sat inside, burgers, chicken strippers and onion rings. $50.61
Oh and the cheese sauce that Ma loves
Now the photos are a bit scarce here, i think it rained on and off and we face timed quite a bit so apologies for the lack of visuals
We rode Kong for the first time, we used our front of line passes and the queue wasn't too bad around 15 minutes, when we got on there were 3 people ahead of us in our row as it holds 6, but when we climbed up my seat was missing i had a metal bar half a seat and a gap
, im guessing it should have been 5 to this row but we were on, the door was closed and it was too late to complain so i perched
Being in the middle of the row is not great on this ride, i enjoyed it but think it would be a better experience on either side, we all gave it 8/10, next we rode forbidden journey - we all enjoy this one, round to spiderman and then a look in the shops, Ma wasn't feeling too good so we got some headache tablets and headed back to the Hard Rock in the wind and
rain.
Up to the room to chill for a while before getting ready and going to city walk, plan tonight was to do dinner and golf as we had done it two years ago for $21.95 each, sadly they no longer have the offer only a film and dinner, could have played golf but it was $16 each so we decided to go for just dinner instead.
Dinner was in Margaritaville - its a lovely place with a live band playing requests, one day we may be brave enough to put in a request
We had Jerk pasta
Fried chicken
Bama breeze cheeseburger
Three beers, a 5 o'clock cocktail and a virgin mango daiquiri $108.48 plus tip.
Back to the hotel for a drink from the bar before bed.
