LA 10 October

We had breakfast and headed off to catch a bus to 'Universal Studios'.   It only took us about 50 minutes to get there.

The Park was decorated in scary/gruesome Halloween scenes.  Awesome!

Between us we went on most of the rides.  Hannah & Pete went on 'The Mummy' ride three times and went back on again later with Chloe.

We all enjoyed the simulator rides especially 'The Transformers'!

Hannah & I went on the 'Jurassic Park' ride while Pete waited with Chloe.  This was a gentle boat ride with Dinosaurs spitting water at you (one got me full in the face - you rotter) until you came to the end.  Then you went over an 84foot waterfall.  Screamed my lungs out!  Pete then went on with Hannah while I waited with Chloe.

Thoroughly enjoyed the 'Waterworld' scene re-enactment.  Very talented actors.  Not only do they act but do all the stunts themselves.  And these actors have been in big shows like CSI, Law & Order and General Hospital etc.  The girls want to watch the movie now - will have to wipe off the cobwebs and drag it out when we get home.

Next we headed over to the 'Special Effects' show.  Once again very entertaining - making the learning fun for everyone.  They started cutting one of the audiences arm off and even though we knew it wasn't real - it looked so real!  Scary....

Unfortunately before we knew it - it was time for the park to close and for us to get on the bus.  The ride home took 2 hours due to the traffic.

They dropped us by our hotel and we were all so tired.   By this time it was after 8pm so Pete went to the restaurant next door for takeaways which we ate in bed.  You can only get away with that when your on holiday :)
