Sea Paradise - Oct. 5, 2009


A few days before "super typhoon Melor" is scheduled to hit us, the sun came out and the day was beautiful (otherwise, we've had nothing but rain)!  So, we went off to Sea Paradise to go on some rides....


The seals were so cute! They reside right next to the water-rafting ride.



Ric, Danny, and Danny's friend, Kyle, hoped to get soaked on this water-rafting ride (but they didn't). Other people got soaked. I guess we were lucky (although that might depend upon your point of view).

The "Blue Fall" goes up over 107 metres then, suddenly, drops down! Here are Ric and Danny at the start of the ride...


at the top then............... whoooosh....... all the way down!


Kyle and Danny on the Viking Ship! Looks like they had fun (they rode it three times)!




The boys found crabs at the waterfront....



Ric found other creatures in the bushes!


These are NOT bumper boats! We found out afterwards that you're not supposed to bump each other in these boats. Ric and Danny didn't mean to break the rules but we only understand a little bit of Japanese (sukosi Ninhongoga wakarimasu).

Part of the view from a revolving tower. It was a gorgeous day!


This is the roller coaster that Ric and Danny rode. Yes, they sat in the front row, with arms upheld! They did it twice -- at 1000Yen per ticket (about $11), going twice almost paid for admission to the park.
