February 17

   We were up bright and early this morning, another gorgeous day, so we are heading for Universal [you have to do at least one theme park in Orlando].

    We walked miles today, looking at all the sets, watched them do some filming, Carole, Peter and Andrew went on the Earthquake ride, a bit tame was the feeling. We went on the  the Jaws ride early, big mistake - this means that you get to walk around for the rest of the day looking like you just wet your pants [even funnier looks from peeps as you leave the loo]. We had clam chowder for lunch at the Alcatraz cafe, almost as good as the Fishermans Wharf version. Wandering around the San Francisco set, made us feel at home!

   We then watched The Blues Brothers Show which was amazing, they were really good. Walked around more sets, then went to Terminator 2 in 3D. Again this was brilliant, the effects were really good and you felt as if you were there with them - the best bit in my opinion!!!!

   Stopped for a drink in the Garden of Allah which is very pretty, Carole and Peter took a few photo's of the gardens and birds here.

   All three then went on the Back to the Future ride, apparently very good but very bumpy, glad I resisted it. We saw Charlie Chaplin, Lucille Ball, and the Ghostbusters, watched some people doing tap dancing.

   We then went to a lovely restaurant called The Latin Quarter for dinner, Carole and Peter had whole yellow tail snapper, Andrew had chicken and I had tuna steak and a delectable cocktail - midori, pineapple juice and coconut.

   Walked for a while then watched the finale stunt show on the lake, not as spectacular as we thought it would be, but worth watching if you are there.

   We then went to "Endangered Species" which was my favourite T- shirt shop in S.F. and bought some more T's.

   Time to go home, we are all worn out, Carole and Peter have gone straight to bed, we are going too now I've done the diary, goodnight folks!!!!
