Wait for it……………………

Sally Gunnell !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Anyway our last day
Well it started early for me with Lucy waking me up crying with earache and me coughing like a navvy so very little sleep was had by either.
We couldn’t decide where to go but eventually decided to all go back to Magic Kingdom – it seemed fitting, but boy was it hot.
When we got in the car on Monday it read 99 outside and I reckon today was hotter.
Our two favourite rides were where we wanted to go so we fast passed splash mountain and queued for thunder railroad, where a very American Granddad proceeded to tell us that Britain was a great country and Tony Blair was a great man as he had stood strong next to bush against all the liberal types bringing our respective countries down and had they been around in 1940 we would all be speaking German!
He did it in a very New York accent.
The ride couldn’t come soon enough!
And it was a great ride.
Then we got wet – again – on splash – the clue is in the name – mountain.
By then it was boiling and I felt rubbish so we headed home to pack up and chill for the afternoon.

Yes Nicks favourite, Elvis, was playing for one night only, so we ate and listened (and Nick had a pint) and it was great.
So now its 4 in the morning and I am still coughing for England but at least everyone else is asleep – touch wood – and we are almost packed and ready for off.
