Week 2 – Thursday
Sunday night.
Oh, ye gods.
Somebody pleeeease cut off my feet. I just want to die now.
Not sure how I’m gonna handle a second day of this!
We got back into Disneyland around 2:45 this afternoon and managed to stake out a great spot beside the parade route. Got some nice shots.
Managed to squeeze in:
“A Christmas Fantasy” parade
Pirate’s Lair on Tom Sawyer’s Island
Indiana Jones (again)
Snow White’s Scary Adentures (not very scary)
Matterhorn bobsleds (twice)
Autopia
…and another 70 odd photos!
Tomorrow, we’re off to California Adventure World.
Yikes.
Just what have I let myself in for?
——-
Well, as you can see, I never got to post that after I wrote it.
It’s now Thursday (Thanksgiving) and so much has happened in the intervening 4 days.
Monday at Disneyland was awesome, although there were more people than were there on Sunday (Monday was a less foggy day). But by Monday night, I really did want to cut off my own feet!
Tuesday, we headed down to San Diego and did a 1 hour harbour cruise. What we didn’t realise (but soon found out) was that the cruise was just a narrated tour of all the naval ships in harbour!
Tuesday night we flew to Seattle and got to Chad’s place around 9:45.
We promptly sat up til after midnight chatting.
Yesterday, we headed in to town and parked near the Space Needle. But, instead of doing the Space Needle straight away, we walked down to Pike Street and caught the free bus down to the market and wondered around there for a while.
We then caught the bus back to where we’d caught it, and walked back up the hill to the Space Needle. So, then we went up the Needle and had a look around from up there. I shot a series of shots which I plan to turn into a panorama.
After that, we grabbed some lunch, hooked up with Chad and his family, and then went into the Science Fiction museum and the Electronic Music Project (which is totally AWESOME!).
After that, we decided it was time to head home so we could get ready to head out to dinner… the plan was to go to some crazy 50’s style diner that serves these ridiculously oversized portions… only problem was, when we rang, we found out that on Thanksgiving Eve, they close early! D’oh!
So, we grabbed pizza and stayed in… which after the last 5 days was just fine by us.
Today, after lunch, we’re planning on going for a drive to see some snow (us Sydney-siders don’t see snow very often).
Tomorrow, we start the great road trip back to LA.
Cheers,
Bruce.
