The girls checked out the room at 10 so I woke up then, wondered why I hadn't heard from Lauren. The Oz Ex bus turns up at half 9 so hoped they hadn't decided to go somewhere else! I had recommended the hotel and told Lauren to find out if she could stay in room 2, where I was. So I text her and didn't hear back for a while, but eventually did - she had gone for breakfast with Jamie and Zach then the 3 of them would be moving into room 2!! Was really pleased but wishing I'd have known they were going for breafast as I could have done with some! Got changed and mooched around waiting for them then Lauren came to my room (the boys were on the intenet) and we tried to decide what theme parks to do as we were going to go to one that day (the boys didnt have long to spare in Surfers so we needed to crack on with it). Still couldn't decide so got the boys in and we decided to do the 3 theme parks - Jamie had already done Dreamworld when he'd been to Oz 4 years earlier and had said it was really good, but then we thought we'd try Movie World, the brouchure looked really good and it was somewhere new for Jamie. Once we had made that decision we went down to the reception and brought our passes (which give you unlimated entry to the 3 parks tilll July) and decided to go to Seaworld - as the weather was still rainy we didn't want to do the water park and wanted to save Movie World for a full day (it was already midday). Got a bus down to Seaworld which ony took about 5 mins and got our passes sorted then we were in! There was a massiv pool with a Pirate ship in when we walked in and a show going on so we watched a bit of that then headed over to the penguin enclosure. I've never been a massive penguin fan but they wre really funny to watch and in a really cool enclosure. We then saw a polar bear which was amazing, soo cute!! Next we headed over to the dolphin pool and were soo close to these dophins that were just swimming around - they were gorgeous. Walked round to the stingray pool where there were some huge stingrays then to the Shark pool, loads of sharks which you could watch from above or go into a little uderwater bit where you could watch them underwater. Some huge shark and loads of other fish too. The park seemed really nice, really clean and nice big enclosures. It was just like a smaller version of Seaworld in Florida. Got some lunch then headed to the 4D Happy Fet show, which was definately 3D and not 4D but showed a little 15 min version of th film which was pretty cool. We then went and queued for the Jet Racer rollercoaster, was a fairly long queue and didn't think it looked that great but it was actaully a really good ride! You all sit on little Jet skis and its reall really quick! Mch better than we expected! We then went to watch a dolphin show which was amazing! It was in the largest dolphin pool at a Seaworld (or something) and was soo impressive, the dolphins were incredible and so well trained. Could have watched them all day. When that finished we were pretty much done, there was another bigger rollercoaster I reallllly wanted to do but no one else seemed keen so we left that and got on the bus back to the center. Went back to the sotel and the room was ready for the others to move in so they moved there stuff in and unpacked etc. Was the first tim I've been in a room with only friends and we all agreed it was really nice, felt like being on holiday. I think we just chilled out after that, can't remember what the boys did for food but Lauren had food to cook so went to the kitchen and I showered and then wandared to Subway for dinner. Felt so safe at night, such a nice place to be. Was still really warm outside so I took my time and headed back to the hotel after I had eaten. The boys wanted to go out but me and Lauren were up for staying in. The four of us sat in our little garden chatting for a while then the boys went out at half 9 and me and Lauren went to bed - we had a big day at Movie World planned for the next day and didn't want to be tired! Woke up when the boys came in and assumed it wa really late bu checked my phone and it was only half 10! They'd decided to come back but i was wide awake so ended up staying up chatting to them for a while before we all went to sleep.
