Water water everywhere

I feel very fortunate that the weather has not been nearly as extreme as we had expected. It is very warm and humid, but certainly not in the 90s which we had been trying to prepare for. Yesterday afternoon we paid a visit to Leoland, a water park on the roof of a nearby mall. It was perfect for the kids and they had so much fun. A lot of the larger chutes were not operating, which would have been disappointing if our children had been any older, but at this age, it wasn’t an issue. It was probably best that we did this on a weekday as I can imagine this place packing out on weekends.

I am very grateful for James and his Thai skills, not only does it make me feel a little less vulnerable, but we scored today. There are two entrance rates to Leoland, one for tourists and one for non-tourists (which of course is more expensive). Well we were charged the non-tourist rate, which I can only put down to the fact that James was speaking in Thai, because he did tell them that we were from America. Maybe they just appreciated his effort, or maybe the girl behind the counter had a crush on him (even though he had his wife and three kids in tow), I guess we will never know.

Yep - I really was there too!
