Today’s Gold Coast excitement took us to Wet n Wild water park. It turned out to be the best place to be as the occassional torrential downpours didn’t hinder our fun – we were going to spend the whole day being soaked anyway!
As you can imagine (especially if you read the blog / saw the video about the pool slide) Si was in his element. As for myself, after a bit of a nervous start (my thumb is still not completely recovered from that same pool slide!) I too had a ball. The best ride by far, called the tornado, involved sitting on an inflatable ring and being thrown down an almost verticle drop, with almost definitely some freefall, to then spin around a giant cone – all the while being sprayed with good old H2O, of course!
Simon managed to go on all rides, even an oversize version of the campsite slide. The difference being it was about 30m high, straight, and involved a drop as steep as can be, he even claimed to take off as he dropped!
With all that fun, plus all the stair climbing to get to that fun, we are two very tired cats who will sleep well tonight (even in our cramped, lumpy campervan bed!)
