Today is Sunday, and marks the final day of competitions and such. That means that tomorrow will be the awards and then we will be able to go home. I’m glad that it’s almost over.
Today was an enjoyable day however. We slept in as late as we could, watched some of the Law and Order: SVU marathon, and then went to Universal Studios. Universal Studios has better rides than any part of Disney’s attractions. My personal favorite was the Hulk roller coaster, which is quite fun.
When we got to the park, our first stop was the Hulk roller coaster, followed by the 3d Spiderman ride. We moved on around the park but, unfortunately, the other good roller coaster called the Dueling Dragons wasn’t operating. We decided to go get soaked on the Popeye rafting ride and then walked around the park a bit more.
After a bit of walking, we both realized we were exhausted so we decided to catch a movie. We walked out of the park and headed for the theater on Universal’s Citywalk. Unable to watch ‘Mr. and Mrs. Smith’ within time to catch our bus, we decided to settle for ‘Batman Begins’, a choice which I’m glad we made.
‘Batman Begins’ outclasses all the old Batman movies and makes Batman a much more believable character. It’s less shitty costumes and effects (see that one with Arnold as the ice dude) and more believable, gritty action. If you liked the Batman movies a bit but hated how hokey they seemed, this one will do you good.
Anyway, enough with the movie review. We were soaked from our water ride before the movie so we ended up shivering by the time the movie was over. We got bused home and now I sit in my hotel bed in a change of dry clothes, writing this before hitting the sack. All-in-all, a rather more successful day than yesterday, I would have to say.
