New Car

Day 419
Today was different. Eventful one might say. We got up excited for Sea World, our last hurrah before we pack and all that jazz tomorrow. Got in the car and.. Nope!

Starting pulling off and it sounds like the car is ripping itself to pieces, a horrible grinding noise. So we turned around and went back to the drive way. Something's leaking. So we call the rental people who arrange for a tow truck to come so we can get a different car from the airport. Go out to check the car again and one of the tires deflated. What? Literally, 10 minutes had passed a wheel deflated. And they don't come with spares. So we got towed, we then got to pick another car. We went for the same one but a GT version in a nice shiny blue.

We went straight to Sea World from the Airport because we thought we may as well. It was opon until 7 so plenty of time. There was no queue to park. No queue to get in really. No queue to get on any rides - apart from to see the penguins because they are the best thing ever. The ride Manta is just like Air but it does stuff that you really wouldn't expect do at the angle they have you riding. It broke as well, but yeah. They got it working later. We saw alligators, sharks, dolphins, turtles and manta rays and loads of other stuff. They had a conveyer belt to go through the shark tube so you could look and take pictures, that was fun. 

We then went to Stake and Shake and had the complete opposite experience to last time.. Sill good.. But they drinks came and then the food took ages. Last time we had to wait until we were pretty much done before the drinks came. I tried a double chocolate fudge milkshake. It was very good. Only thing was, chocolate syrup got stuck in the staw so it was like.. Near impossible to drink. Super tasty. 

We had a shimmy swim. We also watched the VMA's live which was interesting. It's just finished while I am typing this all out. Beyoncé was the big finale and I don't think I got it. It was confusing for me. Meh.

Look at the shiny.
