Yesterday was frolic in the park day. We started with a swoosh, Lynn went on two of the roller coaster rides. Now these rides are famous throughout Europe we are told so not just the ordinary twist and turn till you throw up kind, but the rip and tear and break till you have to be in traction kind. After the second "fun" ride Lynn had an ear to ear grin but decided the "fun" was over and walking would be her MO for the rest of the day - which we did in great abundance. The park is similar to Disney World (Epcot) in that it has many different country theme areas, and it is quite large, so it took 8 hours to complete the wandering. And, oh yes we did take another ride - the equivalent of "Pirates of the Caribbean", and it was virtually identical down to the pirate chasing the girl around, the scalawags in jail (with a monkey holding the keys) and the restaurant overlooking the end on the ride. The rest of the park is very similar also, but also different enough to make the wandering experience a delightful one. It's also much greener, owing to the cloud bursts that we experienced both days. The first burst was really a burst. We were wandering about the fields and plains around the park when, must give credit where credit is due, Lynn decided to return to the room to fetch her gear, rain type. I, of course, simply continued on. We met 10 or so minutes later and continued our wander, whilst the sky grew dark. Another 5 or so and the cloud burst cometh, more of a deluge really, and I in my standard wandering garb got wet, or perhaps a better way to say it - soaked to the skin. As it has in the past, my clothes dried and the incident brought much laughter. Also different are the food prices and the crowds - thankfully, both much lower. Just another day to cherish, we are both grateful:)
