I'm back home
We had an amazing stay at the BC, met Teena, lovely lady, sorry I didn't get the chance to come back with the girls.
We loved the location, and our room, it was quite far to get to the main areas but the view of illuminations was wort it. If we do return, think I will ask for something a little closer to transportation, we worked out that the walk to the pool was longer than it was when we were staying In Building 7 of POFQ, which we don't mind, but a lot of people complain it's too far! I wouldn't complain if I were you!! But all in all we loved it and hope to return.
So I'll finish my trip report now! In bits!
Can't believe it's been a week since I last updated, we've been going at it hard with little time to rest.
I last left off with AK being our next adventure.
Sun 3 Nov, I woke at 7:10 and as I was pottering DH said to check the time was right as the clocks had gone back, oh lord I hope so, I checked my watch and it said 8:10, phew!!
So today was EMH at AK, we decided not to get there for 8 as we already had FP booked for what we wanted. We hopped in the car and in 12 mins we arrived just before 9 and had to que to get in as there were so many people at the guest entrance to start, we were in No hurry as the safari ride was 9-10. We got in line at 9:15 an a family in front could not get in with their bands, they had a 10-11 slot and the CM was trying to explain (they were foreign) that they were early and the clocks had gone back!
My plan for today was AK, leave about 1 and head over to AKL for a QS lunch just to see the resort then head back to the pool or whatever we fancied.
Well on the way in DD10 spotted the ranger station and as she missed out last time, wanted to do the activities around the park, we got 2 books and were told to stop at all the ranger stations and collect all the stickers, well this took up a lot of time, we enjoyed our day as we got to go on all the trails, see the tigers in action and just take in the scenery, we even went over the rafiki's station.
We stopped for lunch at FT BBQ instead of going to AKL, DH was not thrilled in seeing it, he said we would never stay there and preferred the WLwe visited last week.
I had the pulled pork sandwich and DH had the ribs, they fell of the bones, mine was ok, a little dry so had to add some BBQ sauce. The birds were annoying tho.
We did more touring and by now it was 3 pm and we had dinner at BOG at 6:45, so we headed out. Back at the hotel DD10really wanted to go in the pool, I said if she did this then we wouldn't have time for rides before dinner, she was fine with this and had half hour in the pool, with the clocks changing it was a shock to see the pool area with no sun on it and it was freezing, despite it had been a hot day.
A quick shower and ready to go, we caught the bus and got to BOG about 6:40!
We were seated right away in the rose room, it was very empty in there, not sure why. We all had the steak and all really enjoyed it, DD10 had hers plain with fries.
It was very cold when we left so went on the carousel, IASM and HM to keep warm, DD2 fell asleep on HM, we did BtM while wishes was on then headed out the park, I wish she had been awake as POtc, Jc and the carpets were all walk ons. Never mind.
Back home and we were knackered after such a long day we went straight to bed.
Monday to follow.
