So after the last weekend's fun, Sean and I dragged a reluctant Christine (so it was mom and the two kids!) to Caribbean Bay. Up above you get a panoramic view of one of the pools and the supertube (watertube?) winding its way down the hill. I tell you, the one thing that is tiring is climbing those steps to build up the potential energy so that you can translate it into kinetic energy - talk about physics in action.
Speaks for itself, doesn't it?
This is the bottom of the Boomerango slide, and a fraction of the crowd that was waiting to ride it.
One of the fun experiences - having a bucket containing about a 1000 liters of water dumped on you! Luckily it splashes onto a little balcony of evenly spaced boards first!
The wave pool, from the deep end. No, I'm not in the water, there is a ledge here. You'll notice that all the people here at the deep end are in life jackets - apparently Koreans either cannot swim or are too lazy to tread water. So you hang there in your life jacket, bobbing up and down like a duck as the waves pass beneath you...give me Clifton, or Blouberg Strand, or Jeffrey's Bay any day!
