We got to the campsite which was nice and cheap and got started on the endless washing we had! We spent the rest of the evening relaxing for the next few days of themes parks ahead of us. The following morning we went to wet and wild which is obviously a water park. We got there nice and early and as we had already purchased the tickets we got straight in. On the rides we went like big kids. The rest of the day followed more queueing in boiling heat and colling down by the rides. The first ride we went on ended up being the best one so we decided we would definately be going on that again before be left. We decided we needed something to eat but werent going to pay the stupid prices the meals were so ended up getting chips to share. After being refuelled we got on the lazy river which you had to be in rings for. We stayed on this for ages and we all ended up getting tipped over a few times!! We went on a few more rides and then back on to the best one which was definately worth the 45min wait! It was even better than the first time we went on. The next day we went to SeaWorld which was the better park out of the 2. When you see the pictures you will understand. We did a couple of log flume rides to start us off but it really got good when we started visiting the various animals/mammals. We saw a huge polar bear playing with what looked like an over sized dog toy!!! it looked very happy and had loads of space. A 4d show about how various habitats are being destroyed, saw various sharks and rays some of which you dont want to meet in the sea as they will eat anything they can!!!!!!!!!! Thewater ski show was good for the tricks when they did them but too much geared to a kids story than a water ski show. We saw the fish detective show which were the seals which was ok but the highlight of all shows were the Dolphins!!! These creatures are amazing, they did some spectacular jumps and whizzed round the pool at incredible speed. They have several areas for dolphins and you can tell with the set up and the way they are with them that they are very much "all for the dolphins" well being. The dolphins are bread there as part of a programme and seem happy as they play quite happily in their pools when not in the show. Surfers paradise was the next days stop, the waves were definately paradise for them. It was a pretty standard town but with good surf so only a couple of hours wonder round then back to the campsite ready to set off the next day to Brisbane.
