Triple Treat Tour July 2016 Day 12 Discovery Cove

The day before is HERE

Thursday 14 July

Ah, been really looking forward to today, a little piece of paradise

We were on our way by 0745 and for once the roads were really quiet so we arrived not long after 0800.







But they had these wee fellas out to distract you



That’s it. I need an armadillo in my life

They were just too cute !

All checked in an we are on our way . Which reminds me now as a I type this that I don’t know where our photo is from the start of the day . Need to go for a rummage later

Its as beautiful as we remember from 4 years ago





Jamie decided the walk to the lockers had already been enough exercise for the day



Finding lockers was a bit of a faff and I ended up walking a fair way to find one for my bag , only to return to discover Andy had bagged one right opposite where we were sitting. Not amused

We had bagged some loungers in the shade and near the restaurant

At least we used them

Several loungers near us had been claimed already and not a soul appeared on them all day – I moved the towels off them in the end as other people were looking for seats in the shade by the afternoon .

Totes annoying peeps that do this ghost lounging ……

Not as annoying as the REALLY LOUD< LETS SHOUT EVEN THOUGH WE ARE RIGHT NEXT TO EACH OTHER AND ALL TALK AT THE SAME TIME SO IT COMPLETELY SHATTERS THE PEACE> – family that returned ominously several times eyeing up a few empty spaces.

Happily it didn’t meet their liking and they trundled off – obviously not connected to the stink eye I was directing at them

Andy and I headed off for breakfast , which we though was nicer than our last visit



The teens ran off and we plonked ourselves on the loungers – and really didn’t do a lot else.

We didn’t fancy the aviary and I wasn’t ready to brave the water yet , so nothing for it but just a bit of busy doing nothing time .





At some point I set off in search of cold beverages and met these three



Beverages located successfully

The mango cocktail was very nice



Who knew sand could be so interesting



That’s the thing with these teen types – they keep coming back !

In search of sustenance obviously





Notice Mum's cunning use of umbrella there to store the snorkels and so we could spot our seats easily



Complete genius on my part …..

The boys came back from the “lazy” river

Jamie had a really sore and raw looking knee graze



But didn’t want a plaster or anything on it – it did look painful

As we had spent several hours doing nothing, we went for a circuit on said river to work up an appetite for lunch

Andy went off ahead of me

I didn’t have my glasses on

I cant see without my glasses

Its not like he is a small bloke

But he could have been a tree for all I can see

I am wandering round hopelessly so Jamie escorted me like an old granny to the edge of the water where Andy is stood waving his arms like Windy Miller and looking a right numpty waiting for me , bless him.

I managed to scrape the top of my foot and my knee – that is rough surfacing in there

But we had a lovely time just floating around , me not really seeing anything except a foot of water in front of me but Andy telling me about the lovely birds that we were passing

All that exertion required refuelling – Nick and Jamie had already stocked up
