One week Florida

Das 2. Wochenende - KEY WEST
The last three days no posts appeared as you will have noticed. The reason was a short trip through the Everglades with the destination "Key West" the southernmost point here in the USA. It has been very special, interesting, thrilling, adventurous and of course sunny and hot. But as I still have to sort the pictures and there is other stuff I promised to write about -

INTERLUDE: The Disney´s Hollywood Studios, Orlando, FL

As it happens there hasn´t been some time to write about the visit of (at least a part of) Disney World. At this point you are guessing correctly - I will do some story telling now.

Some impressions of the theme park to begin with ... 

First of all: There is a lot to see and experience in a theme park but as they all want to earn a lot of money you have to decide in which part of the park you would like to go. To explain this one I will have to explain a bit more. Orlando in Florida is some kind of theme park paradise as you can find there Disney World, Universal Studios, Sea World, some mini golf courses and so on. This first visit now has been to Disney World and here one of three parts: "Disney´s Hollywood Studios". The entrance fee is already mind splattering high with 86$ where you still have to add the FL Tax of roughly 8%. Unfortunatly I have to admit this is too much for the few things you are able to see and experience. Most is shopping and eating (meaning you pay entrance fee to be allowed to shop and eat crab for unbelievable high prices). However there have been some nice attractions like "The twighlight zone tower of terror", a big house like in the 1920s with an "damaged" lift in wich you are doing as thrilling ride (free fall, shot in the air). Also there is the "Rock´n´Roller Coaster" which is a really fast roller coaster with loopings, screws and stuff all the "Rolling Stones" like.

Moni studying the plan to decide where to go first.

You really got the feeling to be in San Francisco - just while you are in the middle of Florida.

 

 

The transformation begins: Frieda and Folka turn into not only some Muppet but Kirmet!

The rest of the park was nice to see. It was more or less all about making a movie and how to intrigue the eye of the spectator. Secondly there have been quite many live shows to see, like Arielle, Beauty and the Beastm Toy Story, Indiana Jones, Star Wars, American Idol, Muppets, ....
I will come to an end now as we want to go to the beach. Here we have half past 12 now, sunshine and some 30°C. I hope I manage to post a bit more in the evening about Key West - expectations should rise now somewhat! :-)
