Sea World

Sea World in Orlando is very impressive. Started with the dolphin nursery followed by the killer whales show..
















Then the usual kids play ground and water park. This time we came prepared with a change of cloth..
















The most impressive was the big dome building that houses the polar bear, walrus and polar whales. It is decorated with ship wreak, real ice and the sky is illuminated with polar light. It is a little hard to take photos, ISO has to be set at 800-1600 and F 2.8 throughout. Pictures were all a little grainy.

Universal Studio

There was not much to do in universal studio. The whole park was build to look like the 50's - 60's. There were a lot of rides that the kids (and I ) were too afraid to think about trying




















The most memorable park of the park was the fantastic water park which the kids had lot of fun. We had to buy cloths for them to change into..
















Few of the restaurants and shops in the park...








These photos shows how detailed the park was build to look like the 60's. All the cars are real with streets build to look look like New York, Hollywood etc...You have to give it to the Americans.








Shaun got a little tired during dinner. We ended the day watching Monster Vs Alien in 3D.

We decided to spend a day at the Kennedy Space Center where all the rockets are launched from the Apollo era until now.








The Atlantis space shuttle was ready to launch the next that after we were there.

This Vehicle Assembly Building is the tallest and biggest single story structure in the world with 525 feet tall and covers 8 acres of area. It serves to assemble the Saturn V moon rockets and now to support space shuttle. It has the single biggest garage door in the world...





This is the Saturn V rocket which takes Apollo 11 till Apollo 17 to the moon, from 1969 to 1972..
































The Space Shuttle exhibit with a very real looking space shuttle discovery. The real one is still operational..









we then went to the Rocket Yard with all the historical American rockets, and encounter a true local on the way back. There were a few movies and rides available but we did not have time to see them.
