Ouch...

Well, what a couple of days! There has been enough rain water to flush out the whole of the UK and enough sun to scorch my legs, back and shoulders - everything is bigger here, even the weather! Some of the clouds and the views I have seen have compared to the scenes from the film Twister!

Aquatica was the venue for yesterday; full of people, all shapes and sizes, so I happily minced around in my bikini feeling quite good about myself. There were some very scary sites, all of whom seemed to have no issue with letting it all hang out, literally!

I have never been in such intense heat, seriously scorchio! I actually felt as though my body was cooking and felt relieved when the sun dissappeared behind the cloud. The water was a welcome relief and I found the lazy river particularly fun; sitting in a rubber ring and floating round in the sun - a small hole for a cocktail would have finished off the expereince!

It is funny how the heat makes you lose your appetite (although there were a lot of poeple who still clearly had theirs!), however, by 7 pm that evening I was ravenous and looking forward to some good American food. Golden Correll was the chosen venue and from previous experiences of American cuisine, I was very excited...that was until we arrived!

It was a self serve, all you can eat cafe, full of super sized people and a variety of food - not too much in the form of the veggie diet, but I managed on fish and mashed potato. People are pretty foul, so many large people eating more than their body weigth in food and then going back for more - I literally had to hold my jaw up as it kept dropping to the floor!

And so to bed, tired, burnt and feet very sore - I guess being exposed to 32 degrees of sunshine for over 8 hours is a bit of a shock to the system! I am a true Brit!! :>)
