Beaches, Seaworld and Rude Barsted Men - Day 4 161008

We were up and ready early so we decided to go down to the beach for a look. Such a beautiful place. OMG its gorgeous! The sand is so clean and soft. Hard to move on in a wheelchair! I just wobbled down to the beach holding onto a railing so I could say that I had stood on it (the beach, not the railing).

Got some pics and then we went off for a walk down the street. Had a nosey in a few shops but avoided most of them. I don’t think we could have even afford to look in the window of Cartier and Gucci! Got back in the car and drove off. The roads here are getting all set for the Indy Cars which arrive next week. All fencing and stuff everywhere. We heard yesterday that it takes them 6 weeks to get it all ready and 6 weeks to take it all down!

Then off to Seaworld we went. Got there about 10. It was busy already. We slowly wandered down to the dolphin show which was on at 1045. Saw some little dolphins in the nursary on the way. We got there just in time. It was packed. But thankfully me being me, we got ushered in a different way and given a reserved seat right at the front. Oh being disabled has its advantages! Anyway, the dolphin show was fantastic.

They are so beautiful and smart and I was just amazed at the connection the handlers have with them. The dolphins were literally hugging them. So touching.Tear! Took plenty of video and pictures.

We went on the monorail around the park. Once again, we got a specially reserved car for us. Told mum I felt like I was a dog the way I was racing from one side to the other to get photos. LOL! She gave me a strange look. Redda just wanted to go to sleep on the chairs. We did offer to leave him there to travel round and round while we went and checked the place out, but he decilined.

What do starfish and men have in common? NO BRAIN!!!! HAHAHA

The polar bear was amazing. He wasnt there when we first went to see him, and by the time we walked all the way down the ramp he was out, so off up the ramp we went. Poor mum! But then I suppose its good Im not heavy. But the polar bear..... I think he came out just to show off. He sat on the rock in the middle, doing what I am sure was posing!

Then chased a seagul and landed in the water. Swum about a bit and played with his toys and dove down. Was so cute. The rudest of rude men was there. There was a small gap and I just asked him politely if I could just squash in and he turned around with a “fucking unbelievable” and stormed off! Mum yelled back at him that he was the unbelievable one! So that all upset me a bit. HOW VERY RUDE!!!!

We just walked around for a few more hours. Loved the underwater viewing of the sharks and stuff. The sting rays were great. I could have stayed there for hours just watching them.

There was this one fish (which was only a toadie) who kept coming up to the window and just staring at us, showing his teeth. He cracked me up.

Ran into a guy from Warneet we used to know. Mum actually bought her old house off him. Small world huh. Got himself a mail order bride by the look of it! Sleaze. We were going to go to the 4D show but were too late, same with the seal show. And I really wanted to get my photo taken with a sea lion but mum didnt want to hang around that long. So we left at about 2pm.

Came home and just rested then. Had a nice nap. And just sat around the rest of the night.
