Universal Studios Day 2

What a difference a day makes! After all the craziness and crowds of Sunday we returned on Monday and it was so much more enjoyable. The first thing we did was go to the Harry Potter ride where there was a 5 minute wait instead of a 70 minute one. I got both Angus and Ian onto the ride and Angus and I went on it a second time immediately - Ian decided to sit out the second ride.

We then waited for the Simpson’s Ride to open and we all went on it, and after that we took a break from rides and went on the Studio Tour again - it was ok but we couldn’t go everywhere as there were shows that were shooting. After the tour we went to the lower level and went on the Transformers 3D Ride. We also went to the Animal Actors Show, which was pretty good. Finally we had lunch at the Three Broomsticks Cafe, which is in Harry Potter’s World. We then had one more look in the major Universal store for stuff before heading back to the hotel for some downtime. On the walk back (which takes about 5 minutes) we encountered a women handcuffed and sitting on the curb with about 4 police cars around her. Not sure what was going on but a couple of the cops were searching through nearby gardens.

This evening we caught an Uber to the Staples Center in downtown LA to see the LA Clippers play the Toronto Raptors - it was a great experience- we really enjoyed the game, which the Clippers won and we were blown away by the entertainment - it was a great night out.Leia mais
