Pissed...

Hello and I seem to have woken up finally, even though it's getting late here and I have been weary all day!

The sun was certainly shining this morning and it was hot, hot, hot! The heat makes you want to have an ice cold drink, so middle of the day, scorching heat, let's order a 'raspberry Rita margarita' - wow, so nice didn't even taste of alcohol - not good me being a Larry lightweight and all. That went down nicely, so let's try the coconut and amaretto version, ooh very nice. So, two drinks and a lot of heat equals me quite pissed and pretty useless for the rest of the day!

We get home after perusing the shops, cinema options and everything else available in the City Walk - we didn't quite make it into Universal Studios as we forgot the tickets and didn't fancy spending $100 each to get in, so ended up checking out what was there, seeing Portofino (well the American version) and Margaritasville of course - hic!

I dive in the pool, well fall in technically and enjoy wrestling with the alligator, well the blow up one that is and then fall asleep for a little while in the lovely sunshine. Wake up, sore head and major, major black clouds - weather warning on the TV, another mental storm approaching. My god, how scary are storms in this country - none of the gale forced winds and downpours like us Brits experience, full on palm trees at 45 degrees and so much rain that you cannot see anything! It did not stop for over an hour, to the point where the pool nearly flooded and water was leaking into the house!!!

It is all over now thank goodness, at least we had heavy sunshine for the early part of the day - very strong sunshine as it happens as shoulders and neck are pretty red! Watching American TV this evening, so many channels and so much sh** - although it is addictive sh**, as I have spent the last two hours watching 'ultimate fighter', the cage fighting championship between '1,2,3 USA' and '1,2,3 we're not gay UK' - crazy buggers!

I think we are heading for a water park tomorrow, so hopefully we will sort tickets beforehand and try some rides! Although, I do find the whole theme park experience a little overrated, as I haven't quite worked out why people are obsessed with queueing for hours to go on rides that make them want to vomit and of course pay for the whole experience!!!
