Today we rode down to Wildomar to meet John & Fritzi friends of the Padmos family who have helped us out. It was lovely to meet them and put faces to names.
We had a lovely time chattiong and then John & Fritzi took us to Applebees for lunch it was really delicious. Funny how you can jusyt meet someone and feel really comfortable in their company.
On the way home we took a diversion through the Ortega Hwy and called into Hells Kitchen, sure was something to see. While we were there we caught up with Bill from Alaska who gave us a few tips about Alaska which was helpful.
We got back to the hotel and went for a swim, very refreshing and then headed over to California Adventure Park. Stand outs there were Hollywood Tower (of terror) I wanted to go on again and California Screamin which was by far the best rollercoaster I have ever been on. While we waioted in the line we chatted to Candy and Roland a couple from Long Beach who have a season pass and come regularly (chatting helps the 45min wait go fast!). While we are in the line the ride gets closed for tonight's Colours of the world performance and Candy tells us that this means they make the coaster go faster because they want to get everyone through.
Because we had such a huge lunch we decide on just a hot dog (me) and a corn cob (Dave). We ahve a couple more small rides and then get an ice cream to wait for the performance to start we are standing in an area where the sides of the 'lake' are roped off and you need a ticket to get in. While we are standing there waiting a young lady who works at the park comes over and asks "are you waiting to watch the show?" we say yes and she opens the rope and let's us in (angel) when not 1 metre away a young man is turning people away that don't have a ticket :))
The show is spectacular with water spouts, lights and fire. Images are projected onto the water and a musical and narrative is overplayed with it. All the Disney songs it's very good and goes past closing time for the park. The walk home is pleasant and we are really tired.
