Feeding Time
22 августа 2016 г., Соединенные Штаты ⋅ ⛅ 82 °F
I'm surprised that Kathy didn't want to try feeding the lorikeets but she didn't want them sitting on her. I think she was afraid they were going to poop on her!
The Birds and I

I wouldn't mind too much if one of the lorikeets pooped on me. Having the experience of them sitting on you is so much fun! I'm so glad we made it back here in time. I'd be so disappointed if I missedЧитать далее
Hungry Birds
22 августа 2016 г., Соединенные Штаты ⋅ ⛅ 82 °F
I did end up having one of the Lorikeets pooping on me but it wasn't so bad. Since all they seem to eat is that nectar I was feeding them, the poop was just like water. It got on my shoulder and oneЧитать далее

Feeding the birds is a lot of fun but I didn’t expect them to hop all over me! Well, that’s all part of the fun, I suppose.
Stromboli?
22 августа 2016 г., Соединенные Штаты ⋅ ⛅ 82 °F
After we left Lorikeet Glen, we passed this cart standing alone and abandoned a little ways off the path. I'm not sure why nothing was being done with this cart. I would think that theme parks wouldЧитать далее

This was the one, and only, ride we got on in Busch Gardens. The sky way was a nice way to get us back to the area of the park where we left off. By going on this ride, we gave our feet a rest and gotЧитать далее

All too soon we were back in the Land of Dragons and almost ready to disembark. This was a great ride, and I enjoyed it but it also made me a bit sad to think that this was the only ride I'd beЧитать далее

Germany was the next land that we came to after the Land of Dragons. Unlike the rest of the park, a lot of Germany seemed to be very dark and foreboding. This castle was one of the first things we sawЧитать далее
Stones Wolves
22 августа 2016 г., Соединенные Штаты ⋅ ⛅ 82 °F
This is one of the wolves standing guard outside of DarKastle and he really adds to the gloomy and gothic atmosphere. Apparently, the Curse of DarKastle is some sort of virtual reality rollercoasterЧитать далее
