Today's blog title is really about that being wet three times over today. Yep we have had a ball and another very full day. Last night as Richard said we saw the fireworks display at Disneyland and it was fabulous. Shame about the drizzle and getting soaked head to toe walking back to the shuttle. The wet theme carried on today - not with drizzle though but with adventure rides. I convinced Richard to try the Grizzly River ride. While standing waiting we noticed that people were very wet when exiting the ride so decided to purchase some Disney over coats. Well they didn't do much for preventing a thorough soaking. It was so much fun that we did the ride again. It was like rafting the Shotover river but wetter. Fun, Fun, Fun. We both enjoyed California Disney as it had a theme like a fairground on a Pier. We tried some of the arcade games, rode the Ferris wheel, the chair plane thingy (like those ones as kids), watched 3D shows - Bugs Life and the Muppets, we saw a musical called Aladdin, enjoyed the Midway mania - a 3D Toy Story arcade game on a moving carriage, and walked lots and lots. Neither of us were brave enough to attempt the California Screamin' roller coaster or the Tower of Terror. Call it old age, or lack of adventure but we didn't fancy vertigo and motion sickness. I barely coped with the Ferris wheel that rocked.

Tonight after a light supper in downtown Disney we stood for 1 and 1/2 hours and waited for the World of Colour water and light show. This is where the third wet bit comes in. After securing a good viewing spot near the front of the Pier there was an announcement that viewers at the front may get a little wet !!!! - By then it was too late to shift spots as there were people everywhere. We both got quite wet but the show was spectacular. It was images of Disney films projected through water using fountains, laser lights and loads of music and colours. It was incredible, and well worth the standing for all that time.

After the show we had to sprint to make it back to the shuttle - Flossy running in jandals is a bit of a sight to be seen. I have become even fitter with all this exercise every day, but by the time we got the the shuttle, I must have looked a mess as a kindly gentleman gave me his seat. Actually I wasn't puffing, but the water spray had made my hair a real mess (very curly Eric). We just made the shuttle.

Tomorrow we are going to have a quieter day as we have been on the go for two solid days of complete fun and adventure.

We think that we may venture down to San Diego and the Zoo and/or Sea World.

Kid's its not long now till we are home, but we are making the most of the time that we have left here in the USA.
