Segway Tour

This morning (early) we arrived at Epcot for a tour around the world showcase area. We were to be shown around on Segway personal transport machines.

These took a bit of getting used to. In fact, we had a hour of training indoors before being allowed to leave the safety of the training area.

Here you can see Linda trying out a slope on her Segway. She admits, she was terrified before she started training. However, patient training from the two guides, gave all if us the confidence to manoeuvre this machine about with reasonable adeptness.

Here is a shot taken by one of the guides. This picture was taken outside the American sector, looking back across to Spaceship Earth.

By this time we were both happily using the Segway.

The tour lasted 2 hours in total. A hour for training, a hour in the park.

We both thoroughly enjoyed ourselves! A shame it wasn't longer.

Blizzard Beach

After Epcot, we headed to Blizzard beach, another Disney water park.

We've not been to this one before.

In many ways it was similar to Typhoon Lagoon with a Lazy River, tube and mat rides and tall drops.

We stayed there until the park closed! It was very relaxing and enjoyable.
