Gday folks how ya goin?
Well we had a fun day yesterday! Chris and I spent the day at Dreamworld, it is a theme park down the road from Gav and Em's place. We were taken down there for its opening and regressed back to our childlike selves for the day! As I (Frankie) can be a bit of a wimp when it comes to big rides we started off easy with the river rapids. We were sat with a family in our carraige, it started off tame and we were as dry as a bone until we hit the rapids......did the family get wet I hear you ask....no....did we get wet?.....oh yeah all the splashes hit us, when we got off the ride we had very wet bottoms! Next Chris wanted to go on The Giant Drop which was approx 200 ft you went up in a carraige and it dropped you the whole way, I thought it best to be a spectator for this one! I watched for Chris going up there was a carraige on each side. When Chris was taken up the one on the other side got stuck half way I was relieved that it was not him that was trapped! Anyway as he was going up I could see he was excited but also contemplating the need for a nappy! When it dropped I laughed until my sides hurt his face was a picture! He said he left his stomach at the top it went so fast! Our next stop was the Moto racer which was a rollercoaster, you were sat on motorbikes and wedged in with a bar at your back. I went on and the longer I had to wait the sicker I felt! When it took off the G force flattened my face right out! I screamed my head off but really enjoyed it. After a bite of lunch we headed to the IMAX theatre and watched a film on OZ which was great the images are huge it is like you are actually there. The bit I was not keen on was the king brown snake fighting with a lizard ergh! Crikey mate! After my new found barve attitude towards scary rides Chris had no trouble in convincing me to go on the claw........biggest mistake of our lives! My goodness (ref to pic to see what it is like). I got strapped in no bother the floor dropped away and the claw started to swing. It started out like a circular pirate ship kind of feel......then it decided to spin.......then it decided to speed up. Chris groaned through the duration and I lost the power of speech, I think I was trying to not be sick. I had my eyes shut and was green I can remember Chris saying 'Are you okay Frankie?' Mid swing to which I replied 'I will talk to you later.' When it stopped I thought I would not be able to move, we stumbled off and looked at eachother with green faces and declared that 'The Claw is not our friend!' After that nana and gramps thought it best to have a cup of tea and go and see the animals instead! We then took some random cheesy snaps at all of the various plastic characters hence the majority of the album containing these snaps! Oh take note for all of you who know of my unhealthy fear of clowns it took all of my courage to get the photie with coco!
Anyway not much else to report except hope you are all well and ready for santa. He is going to have to deliver pressies in his boardies over here its in the 30's today we are melting!
Lots of love
Frankie (and chris reading the lonely planet about New Zealand)
