It was a bright and sunny day on our third day there, perfect weather to go to the first of the theme parks - White Water World (referred to as www henceforth for easy blogging)! Days 3 & 4 were blocked out for www and dream world respectively.
We had originally aimed to reach the theme park when it opened by 10am, but first we were late, and second we got stuck on the highway due to a 4 car pileup. It was pretty cool being in a foreign land and we were like "shit how come now still got peak hour jam?" -checks twitter- "oh there's been an accident just before exit 57!" -looks up- we just passed exit 59 en route to 57. =P
We ended up reaching the theme park around 11.30am. =S But it wasn't so bad as the theme park turned out to be pretty deserted. I guess nobody is really interested in water rides in the middle of winter.. Even if you have the Australian sun to contend with.
We tried the Super Tubes Hydrocoaster first. It was one of the bigger and scarier rides to start with. Since we had bags, cameras and all, we had to take turns on all the rides. 3 of us went first, and it was soooo good, we came back and chased our parents off to ride it as well. I have not seen my parents in swimwear in eons, and it felt really good to see them get all wet and laughing and enjoying themselves despite the cold weather hahaha. =D
We tried another 3 rides before stopping for lunch.. We were so hungry! I think it's coz our bodies had to work harder to keep warm in the cold. Especially when we were all wet it takes even more energy!
Lunch was overall very ordinary except for the fact that THEY SOLD CHURROS THERE ZOMGGG~!
Best lunch everrr hahahaha!
We completed the remaining 2 rides in quick order, before going over to dream world to complete the 2 wet rides there. After all, we were already in swim wear and all wet.. Doesn't make sense to come back the next day dressed for dry rides and get wet again right?
We saw this super chio tiger cub and took a picture with it. Dammit if you see the picture.. my eyes were closed.. ;"(
Sadly the wet rides in dream world were so-so only and we left soon after.
We got back around 4+ and decided to try the heated pool. I mean i've never swam anywhere in winter before, not to mention a heated pool so we excitedly rushed down to the pool.
To our surprise, it was freezing cold! We weren't so easily thwarted though. We had chatted with some other guests the previous day whilst in the lift, and they had just come back from swimming at 9pm from the heated pool. I mean they couldn't have been so garang to go and swim in the cold pool, in the middle of winter at night right?!
After some exploration, we found this teeny tiny pool in a stuffy room with super blurry windows. Not exactly an inviting place, but we could feel the heat in the room. =D
After a day of cold water rides and even colder winds, the pool was A-M-A-Z-I-N-G! Even better was the Jacuzzi! We just nua-ed there a good half an hour before going back when the sun was setting.
We washed up, went downstairs to get a little shopping done before meeting Dion & Tiffany for dinner. They were bringing us to the only Ramen place in Gold coast and needless to say, it wasn't very good since it was the only ramen place around.
That's all for day 3! (:
woohoo~ I got my blogging mojo back heehee. I have been very unmotivated to blog for quite a while (1 blog entry for august!) and I'd rather spend my time sleeping or dating my super handsome bf hurhur. =P
