An Olympic Sized Holiday

I couldn’t wait until 3pm. I almost fell asleep outside! I slowly wandered my way back to the lodge and realised that I had left my hairbrush in Australia. I went to the hotel shop, thinking I’d be able to pick a cheap one up, as surely they have basic toiletries for people who forget, right? Silly me. This is Disney. I am now the owner of an overpriced (13€!) Frozen themed hairbrush. I guess it’s a souvenir?

I then decided to sit in the reception area for a while before going back to check on my room at 3. Well the guy that did my paperwork earlier saw me at about 2:45 and called me over to check if my room was ready. I guess I shouldn’t have been so mean.

I’m in one of the cute little attached buildings. It’s called “Yellowstone Lodge” - look Dad, I did get to go to Yellowstone after all! I’m on the second floor (in French terminology) and the room is super cute. The border trim has Bambi characters, and even the shampoo bottles have Mickey Mouse ears.

I had a shower - which was an adventure in itself. Crazy system and the shower head has lights that change colour to show you how much water you are using. Meant to be a water management thing but sounds like a challenge.

I finally got time for a nap at 4pm. Which is midnight in Australia. Which means that I left home at 8am on the 31st of July, and travelled without a proper rest until midnight of August 1/2, so that is 41 hours in transit basically. That was the best nap of my life.

It’s about 8:30pm now and still light outside (hooray for summer!) but I’m still quite tired so I think I’m just going to settle in for the evening. I’ll have a big day at Walt Disney Studios Park tomorrow.Читать далее
