IanHi all! So not much of a blog today, I am afraid. I took a break from my park hopping as I needed a break! I have loved all the theme parks so far; as I said yesterday, my favourite one was SeaWorld. My favourite ride so far is Velocicoaster. Who knows what will be the case by the end of the week!
So today, I headed to Walmart to replenish some of my stock at the hotel and buy some stuff to take home. I had a leisurely breakfast and jumped into an Uber. As I said on Wednesday, this particular one is HUGE!! What was weird for me was shopping in a supermarket at 08:30 in the morning… it’s so strange. It’s even open until 11 pm…. on a Sunday… just goes to show how different the two countries are!
After my little shopping trip, which took over an hour, by the way… I stopped at McDonalds to sample American’s version of McDonalds Breakfast. It tasted really nice but also a little weird! They also had this odd version of the McMuffin called the Biscuit Bacon, Egg & Cheese; it looked like a scone; I should have tried that, really!! If I get a chance, I will try it before the end of my holiday!
Now it was time to head back, I ordered an Uber, and when I returned to the hotel, I put my shopping away and chilled for rest the morning. For lunch today, I wandered over to the Lowes Sapphire Falls hotel, which is just across the way from my hotel; it was a brilliant hotel it looked tidy and neat. As a universal resort guest, I can dine in any of the Universal/Lowes hotels in the area. I had a cuban sandwich which was really nice! Of course, it was a large sandwich but am I surprised, considering I am in America?
For the afternoon’s entertainment, I went to CityWalk to go to the cinema as I fancied a change of pace. Geez, they do cinema right in America, with reasonable prices and not paying over the nose for snacks; it’s strange. Also, the chairs were electric, and you could put your feet up, which was a weird cinema experience for me. So I went and saw Puss in Boots: The Last Wish, which was a brilliant film!
After that, I jumped back onto the shuttle bus to the hotel and spent the afternoon relaxing.
Sorry, it wasn’t an exciting blog today, but I needed a rest with the manic week I have planned ahead. I am starting my Disney week tomorrow!! So expect a longer blog tomorrow. I am really excited about Disney, as I have wanted to go ever since I was a child, and I can’t wait to get there!! The first park is Magic Kingdom, so see you tomorrow!
