Discovery cove
Out of the villa by 7.30 had to get everyone up but no complaints,[msnwink] we were in Discovery Cove by 7.50 and handing the car to the valet. This was a good time to arrive as we went in straight away, went to the man who was telling people where to go and he pointed me to a desk – when an English family walked passed everyone and straight in where I was heading, the poor girl just looked at me!! My husband said let it go!!! Oh I was cross (something along the lines of no wonder brits have a bad name[msnmad][msnmad]) the man apologised and we went to the next desk, we were told the Dolphin swim was at 8.50 I said no way I had booked 11.30 and I wanted that – oh came the reply and looked back at the computer is 11.25 OK – Yes that’s fine.
Off we went to get sorted – lockers and towels, sunbeds by the Lagoon caves and suncream on and straight into the water At 9.00 the staff told us it was 102 deg, I went into the stingray pool – this was cold, everyone else joined me but soon left for warmer waters!! I stayed a while stroking the stingrays and looking at the fish.
I went back to join them and they were in the caves, took some pictures, Adam and Lydia wanted to go down the lazy river, bob likes to be where his feet touch so declined, I picked a couple of the tube things up as Adam soon gets tired when he can’t stand up and we were off, when it came to the water falls Adam and Lydia swam under and me through them ( they don’t half give you a pummel on the head) took a couple of pictures on the way round, they now have photographers in the water at various points, I had never seen this before ( I have been twice).
Time goes so fast here and 11 we went for a quick snack, then off for our swim at 11.25 only Lydia and I were doing the swim (Adam did it last year and said it was too cold for him). Bob videoed and took pictures as he has done on the previous occasions! We had a great time I am glad Lydia had touched the Dolphins yesterday as she wasn’t nervous, and she really enjoyed it the only thing is it is over too soon! Went to look at the photos I only bought one as I had done it before and for anyone that has done it you will know how expensive they are, Lydia bought hers and off we went for lunch (not that I am impressed with the food as by the time we got the drinks the food was cold) Why they don’t do drinks first I’ll never know!
Back in the water Lydia and I went into the Coral Reef to see the sharks, I enjoyed this, and then back to the lagoon, down lazy river!! Then back to lagoon, we stayed in water until 5.15, then showered and changed and left around 5.45 and were in villa by 6.15. Lydia was straight on the phone to tell her Mum about the day!!
When driving home I noticed that the ignition light had come on and stayed on so on arriving at the villa I looked it up in the manual, it said if if stayed on there was a problem with the onboard computer, so I got on the phone to Dollar who asked if I would drive to the airport and change it – I declined – they said they would deliver one to the 192 in the morning. Made something to eat chilled and bed. Had a great day.

Rang the Dollar on 192 and the car was there so we had breakfast and off we went to pick it up, another Dodge Durango except a 5.7 litre – now this could move!!![msncool][msncool]
Off to Seaworld to see some shoes straight to Shamu to get a good seat we all enjoyed this, straight from here to Clyde and Seamore, the mime guy before this was absolutely fantastic, I could have watched him all day!![laugh][laugh] After this and a little look round we decided as it was so hot we would go back to villa via subway!!
After this around 3 I decided to go and see a fellow member who had invited me (beautiful villa!!) on my way out I bumped into pool guy and I showed him the spider we had on the front of the villa (he was big) he had been there a couple of days and bob said better where we could see him! The pool
