Day 12 - Typhoon / storm

Today was the day of the Lobster - as Granddad will have seen from the picture sent to Twitter!

After lunch, and a quick trip to Goodings in search of Ghiradelli hot chocolate, as we'd seen that there wasn't any in the shop at Downtown (and no luck in Goodings either) we decided to head to a water park, and went for our first ever trip to Typhoon Lagoon.

Unfortunately, we'd all just got into our tubes and started floating down the lazy river when the staff announced that all of the water attractions were being closed because there was a storm in the area! We hung around for a little while, but the sky did get pretty dark, and there was definitely thunder and lightning in the area, and so we decided that is was sensible to beat a hasty retreat, so we came back home for a while before heading Downtown for the evening for some souvenir and gift shopping, as well as to visit the Earl for some of his particularly fine sandwiches.

Off to bed now, for tomorrow we carpe our final diem in full - it's going to be a 'Four Parks in a Day' day!!
