Animal Kingdom

By -
Another awesome day in the magic land of Disney World! Can you believe this place has a six lane highway going through it???

We headed early this morning to Animal Kingdom as we were having breakfast on site. Another breakfast with characters....doesn't matter how many times you see them...it is still so awesome.
This morning we had breakfast with Mickey, Donald, Daisy and Goofy.


We then headed straight for the safari. We toured around in safari trucks looking at the gorgeous African animals (it is ok Di...I didn't ride them!!!) 
We saw so many different animals. A definite highlight.


Right in the middle of Animal Kingdom is the most gorgeous Tree of Life....the carvings ( hard to see in this photo) are incredible.
The kids were Wilderness Explorers collecting stickers/badges around the park...whilst finding out and learning about lots of new things! Kept them engaged and entertained.


My highlight today was The Festival of the Lion King. Lots of music, characters, acrobatics,dance and fun. Absolutely loved it!!!!!


We all also loved the White water rafting adventure! A large raft (all 10 of us rode together), water, rapids and wet people at the end....I was one of those but not quite as much as Ted and Charlotte! Absolutely awesome!

Some of us went on the 'Dinosaur' roller coaster ride. I whimped out...but very very glad I did! Not sure I would have coped with the dark, dinosaurs, speed and sudden drops!!!! Those of us who did go on it (all except Charlotte, Jim, Julieanne and myself) LOVED it.

We finished our day with a quick swim at the resort and then off to dinner in France - (well France in Epcot). Food was amazing and even better we learnt a little of the French language! Will never remember!

Would like to finish up by wishing all the fathers reading this blog a very very Happy Father's Day. We hope you have an awesome day...we will be celebrating here tomorrow at Hollywood Studios. Xxxx

Erawan Museum

What an amazing day! After a magnificent breakfast at our hotel it was time to check out! At 10am, Geoff, Chalor, Poi and Arnut picked us up from our hotel. We travelled down Sukhumvit Rd with no idea where we were going! Geoff didn't want us to know...it was a surprise!! Well, as we turned the corner our breath was taken away by the most amazing three headed elephant.  We were heading to the Erawan Museum. The Erawan Museum, according to the founder Lek Viriyaphant's ideal wish, was aimed to serve as a showcase of the spirit of Asia where the essence of Arts and 4 major religions have been preserved in order to make known to Asian people and the world the foundation of the eastern civilisation cultivated and transmitted through the philosophical inspiration. An absolutely amazing place.... We headed to Mega Bang Na for lunch and treated the youngsters to the last western meal for 8 days ( McDonalds - Arnut was in his element!) We then travelled nearly 2 hours to get to Pak Hai

A rainy day in Singapore

We woke to this this morning... Rain and a storm.  Our plans changed a little as we didn’t feel Gardens By the Bay would be worth it in the rain.  Jason started the day with a traditional Asian style breakfast... We then headed off to see the ‘Merlion’ The Merlion is a form of welcome to the visitors to Singapore. A real tourist thing to do is pose with the Merlion with the water entering your mouth...we gave it a shot!! We decided to head to Orchard Road for some window shopping. How many Louis Vuitton or Victoria’s Secret shops can you have in one stretch??? The hands down winner though was the Magnum store...where you could create your own Magnum!!! We didn’t but watched a couple of other aussies create theirs! I found another scrapbooking store. Absolutely gorgeous. The walls and store were lined with gorgeous projects. Lots of great things to buy but I actually walked out with nothing 🤪 So unlike me!!! I also went to the store under our hotel...with nothing purchased there either
