Whoa it hot out there today .
As I write this, its almost 5pm and its still 38C
outside. The temperature would easily
have been into the 40’s at lunch time when I was wandering around Downtown
Disney. There were screaming children in
every direction purely due to the heat searing your throat when you breathe. You know that blast of hot melting heat when
you open the oven? Yep, that… coming off
the footpath as you walked across it, with no escaping but moving forward. Seriously.
I stayed for a few hours just wandering and pondering . I sat in the shade to have another lovely
Wetzel dog and their FABULOUS fresh lemonade which was so good in the
heat. It was sad to see so many babies clearly
distressed by being out in such extreme temps…
And even though I am usually
glow in the dark white, I swear that the little bit of time in this
blazing sunshine has altered my colouring a bit… My only purchases today, other
than food was of course copious amounts of water and another trip to Marcelines
Confectionary… this time, I bought a fresh super sweet pineapple spear dipped
in chocolate… OMG… heaven on a stick.
As a result of the extreme temps, I came back to my hotel
around mid arvo totally par boiled and headed for the pool regardless of how
many bodies it might already house.
Lucky for me, I got in about a good 20 minutes before the crowd so I had
a little time with relatively few kids who feel the need to cannon ball in a
pool no bigger than a backyard one… and the worst offenders… yep… the Aussie
kids…
So damp but cooled off, I headed back to the comfort of the
aircon once the cannon ballers arrived, to
just stay cool and prepare for the next leg. You would hardly believe I’d want to be
doing washing but I decided that if its ever going to dry in a flash, today is
it, and I’ll have a fresh start for
Vegas.
I’ve had some issues getting into the time zone too… for the
first time ever, and found myself wide awake at 1am… and there was a lot of
kerfuffle going on outside on the stairs… I stayed indoors , but now I wonder
what was going on, as around mid morning as I was sitting with my feet in the pool,
along came 2 fire trucks full of fire-ies and an ambulance wielding a
trolley. Nothing was given away though
and all left within a halfa with none of us around the pool any the wiser. Destined to be one of life’s little
mysteries.
With my shuttle all arranged for the morning, all I have to do now is get an early night
and be at the airport to meet up with the rest of the travellers and head up to
Vegas for the ‘tour de California’ to begin.
Without the luxury of free wifi in Vegas as I have here, I’m
not sure when the next post will be… failing finding a free macca’s to upload,
it’ll be when we hit Anaheim and free wifi again in a few days time for a big
ol’ update… hopefully though, we’ll be able to do so in Vegas.
Time will tell… ciao
for now xxx
