I was hoping that the weather forecast would be correct bcos we needed warmer weather. It was a day to Adventure Park, which is a water theme park with some dry land rides and we needed the sun.
We woke up to cloudy sky and it was still very cold.... never mind, fill the tummy 1st. With double power, Auntie S and I whipped up a sumptuous bfast.
With bigger stove and sink, cooking and cleaning were alot easier and faster. I really dislike cooking (particularly eggs) using the campervan's pan. It sticks like anything and trying to wash up using the ensuite's little sink is one level up. Daddy Lim kept reminding the kids that we have way enough campervan experience and can absolutely skip that for future trips. Haha.
Apparently there were crazy Australians and many of them were already hitting the water slides. We were all still huddling in our jackets and long pants. Maybe they tolerate the cold better than Singaporeans, who only experienced summer year round.
They did.
Water Bee. This was hard work, like leg day. Lol. Nana chose a life vest with a spider on it and had a spider running across her face. Surprise!
Bye to Adventure Park. We would have loved you more if it had been much hotter.
Of course we attempted the land rides 1st. I love the swinging chairs bcos the kids can go on them forever. Lol.
Ferris wheels. How does this ride end? We had to wave to the attendant when we had enough and wanted to get off. Yes, the park was that empty. Hoho. We didn't mind.
The sun finally came out, signaling that it was time for the water rides. We had to do just that to make our tickets worth. There were also more visitors, including school kids who came in bus loads.
We attempted the 2 major water slides. The moment we stepped into the water to sit on the float, chill shot through. The sun hadn't got time to heat up the water.
The slides were great. I was screaming throughout but more from seeing and knowing that we were going to be splashed by the cold water than the thrill from the ride. Trying to climb onto the platform for the next ride in our wet swimming gear was another adventure on its own. When the wind blew, I think my soul left too. Lol.
Our kids were a lot braver than we were. They went for 2 more water slides than we did. For the very last ones, Zaky had to plead with Nana to go with him as they were min 2 pax rides; T & C have not enough fats to insulate them from the cold and gave up already.
We stopped for lunch. We tabaoed from "home" and made our own sandwiches, adding on hot fries and hot drinks. It was good so long as we were away from the cold water and we all agreed that we had enough of the water slides.
We got changed and warm again before we went for the mini golf. That kept us entertained for a good hour.
Daddy Lim and the kids were really competitive in this game. The 2 mummies were competing for the most stokes to complete a hole. Lol.
It was about 4pm when we decided to leave.
Auntie S and I agreed that we had enough of cooking and washing. We ate out and even MacD tasted good when the cooking and washing were taken out of the equation.
It got a lot warmer and we were discussing about hitting the heated pool in the campervan park, which unfortunately was closed by the time we were back. The kids did a little jumping on the pillow though. This pillow is smaller but still a lot of fun.
It was again laundry day. This time, Daddy Lim didn't have an Australian Uncle to talk to, only the Singaporean Auntie. Lol. We chatted as we waited in the cold laundry room for the dryer to do its work. The dryer wasn't as powerful as the previous ones. The clothes were not 100% dry but 随便 lah. This was the last laundry day for the trip and we needed to ensure enough clothes to last us for the remaining 4 days.
