After an hour of happy sleep, Emma and Saz walked in, drunk out of their
minds, or at least appearing to be so. They had also been locked out and had
run off to the reception for a second key but had, amazingly enough, missed
us. However their trip had almost taken a turn for the blurst when they
encountered a gang of drunken French youths, who had offered to give them a
trip around France that night, probably in return for ... yeah guess! But
Emma had saved the day by screaming "Toilette" and running off towards the
named place. Having had the living daylights scared out of them, confused and
deafened, the blokes had also run off. Edd later pointed out that saying
"Nous sommes homosexuals" might also have prevented any confrontation.
Unfortunatly, in the night Emma decided that it was to hot to sleep, so went
off for a midnight walk around the sleeping Park. Unfortunatly too she forgot
the key to get back into the room, and allegedly spent 4 hours sleeping in
the corridor. After knocking on Edd's door at 6.00 am, who got up and let her
in, she spent the rest of the early morning talking to Edd about Disney and
complaining about the lack of chickens in the place. She was very tired, as
mentioned previously.
The next day saw an early start for breakfast in the Santa Fe. The breakfast
consisted of rolls, croissants (or as many as you felt you could safely eat)
and dodgy looking yogurts. Emma announced that she would get everyone a
coffee but came back with multiple glasses of milk. However we soon sorted
this out and enjoyed ourselves, saving an enormous bag of choc croissants,
yoghurts and rolls for later. After a short return to the hotel we set off
along the river path to the Park.
The day turned very hot and we were soon following the water fountains
around the Park, and in turn being followed by an incredibly annoying Toon
Circus, to be described later. One of our favourites turned out to be the
"Honey I Shrunk the Audience" show, in which the audience wears glasses that
make a 2D cinema style screen in front of them appear 3D. Half way through
this show the audience goes hysterical upon thinking that there are rats
running between the seats, but this isn't true, it's only 'tails' on the fans
by the seats waving. At the end a dog sneezes over you. Nice. (You fools,
it's only water).
In the early afternoon, all returned for a siesta, Mexican style of course.
We found the famous ESSO garage which apparently sold cheap chocolate, nacho
cheeze crisps, coke etc, but we soon discovered that it didn't, prices were
much the same as in the Park. We all had baggettes and Emma bought a 1 FF
Coke glass for her beloved sister.
Later we left Emma sleeping whilst we went in search of the swimming pool.
(We realised that we weren't allowed to visit this pool, but Edd had reckoned
that it would be OK to slip in, under the pretext "We Didn't Know"!!!!! )
After walking into the inviting Sequoia Pool, but then being told that the
pool wasn't available to the Santa Fe guests, George went mad and almost
killed Edd. So we tried the even more select "Newport Bay Club" resort, but
were unable to even find out the way to this pool. So George ran into the
Sequoia Lodge Pool, as visited earlier, and mananged to bluff her way
through, later joined by an almost hysterical Saz. Being very happy at our
sly triumph, George and Saz spent a very happy 3 hours in the pool, teaching
Saz to swim and going down a water slide.
