Grand Floridians

Our hotel room is amazing, with a corner view of the Safari! Here’s a shot of some of what we can see:

Can you see the giraffes and zebras in that shot? Here’s another shot of a Roan Antelope, taken through an ocular:

Ok, let me rewind a bit. The flight was short, smooth and seemed to go very quickly. We breezed through the airport and happily chose our rental car, a tiny little Fiat 500!

A bit of lunch (Jesus chicken) was followed by a siesta and then we headed to the Magic Kingdom.

The crowds were impressive, but arriving after 5 was a smart idea since lines were shortening and the heat had diminished a bit. We stayed until closing at 10, riding many rides including most of the big ones.

That’s the castle of course, and a new attraction at the park is an astonishing show where a series of animations are projected (from multiple projectors) directly onto the castle.

It was incredibly impressive and the animations included such things as making the castle seem to breathe (which was very effective) or melt. Amazing stuff!

Now it’s time to sleep 🙂

Go South!

Tomorrow we’re off to Florida!

We’ll be staying at Animal Kingdom, in Disney World. Obviously we’ll spend a lot of time at the Disney parks (we have a 7 day ticket) and we are also planning on taking a day trip or two…

You can follow our exploits on this very blog, and also on the Twitter. If you’re one of those people who doesn’t follow Twitter, you can reach my tweets here.

Join My Guild!

About 6 months ago I posted about iOS game Book Of Heroes (search for and read the post if you forget). The game is great, and free, and a few significant changes have occurred since my last post.

Firstly, an Android version has been released. This means if you’re one of those people you can still play!

Secondly, guilds have been added to the game! I’ve created one, but I need members.

So – and I am serious here – I’d like each of you to download the game, create a character, and join my guild. I’m quite sure most of you reading this would enjoy the game, and since it’s free why not give it a try?

Once you’re online, add me as a friend by going to the inn and entering my friend code: 962061411

And when you get to level 4, apply to join my guild, which is called Atomic. Once we have 10 members, we can start raiding 🙂
