Caribbean Bay

With my son visiting in the heat of summer, I finally grabbed the opportunity to visit a major waterpark here in South Korea, Caribbean Bay. Above you see the entrance and hordes of Koreans waiting for the gates to open - this happens at 9:30 - and since we got there at 8:45 I don't want to know what time they got up!

Sean waiting patiently in line!

Peanut-buttered squid and bottled coffee - these Koreans are crazy~

Avast mateys, and it's oh hi Rio, away we sail, and we're bound for the wild sea, never to fail!

Sean and I had a lot of fun - the park has many indoor and outdoor attractions, including a lot of water slides down which you can scoot either on a tube or, as the Koreans put it, body slide. The most spectacular of these tube runs is a thing called the Boomerango, a huge orange construction that sends four people in a big raft down a steep incline to shoot up a wall, down again and into a pool. I did not take the camera on these rides, it not being waterproof, but we discovered on our way out that you can buy waterproof bags for your camera.

So, we will be back and this time we'll document the slides and rides!
