The 14th of October was a day that I had been anticipating for weeks, and the reason was because my best friends and I were going to Adventure Cove - a water theme park! Yippee!
On the morning of that day, it rained cats and dogs. Thus, my friends and I were really worried that it would rain while we were at Adventure Cove, and we might not be able to go there. Liesel came to my house before our trip to take a ride with us.
Mummy was to be our parent chaperone during our trip in case anyone drowned or anything. We met Lauren and Shayne at the USS globe and from there, we bought our tickets and went into Adventure Cove.
We were all flushed with excitement and joy as most of us had not been to Adventure Cove before. Also, we were going with friends and that made a lot of difference. Adventure Cove was almost like Wild Wild Wet, except that it was more fun, less crowded and less dirty. There were pools and slides almost everywhere, a HUGE wave pool, and an enormous fish tank (for snorkelling) etc.
The best and the most miraculous part was that it had stopped raining, so Lauren, Liesel, Shayne, Mummy and I could enjoy our trip at Adventure Cove to the fullest. The first ride that we went to was called "Adventure River". It was a slow, relaxing and enjoyable ride. All we needed to do was to grab a float and life-vest and jump into the winding pool that was shaped like a river. There were currents moving us along in that ride as we sat in the enormous floats and drifted aimlessly along with the current. Along the way, we saw stingrays and many different types of marine fishes.
We then went to another ride called "Duelling Racers". The ride was fun and was more for people who were daring and competitive. We were supposed to race against a friend on 2 slides, and the one who reaches the bottom first wins. I was racing against Lauren. The ride was steep and fast, and we could feel the wind blowing against our faces as we plummeted down the slide. I reached the bottom long before Lauren did! :D Shayne and Liesel were racing against each other. However, when Shayne was going down the slide, she did not tuck her arms in. Thus she suffered abrasions when she reached the bottom of the slide.
Mummy brought Shayne to the First-Aid centre while Lauren, Liesel and I went to the wave pool to play. The wave pool was one of the funnest attractions in the whole Adventure Cove. The waves were just so strong and powerful. Swimming in the wave pool was almost impossible - the currents were so strong that they would sweep us back with much impact. We drank loads of disgusting chlorine water from the wave pool as the waves dipped us underwater.
Mummy came back soon with Shayne. Shayne could not get in the water for about an hour, so we went for lunch first. We had lunch at this restaurant called "Bay Restaurant". I had fish and chips and I realised all my friends (including me) were starving. Swimming probably made us tired and hungry.
After lunch, we went to this obstacle course in Adventure Cove. The attraction was something like the TV show, Wipeout. If we fell off an obstacle, we would just fall straight into the 4m deep water. Thankfully, no one fell into the water!!
Then, we went to the wave pool again. It was as exciting as before. The waves just kept engulfing at us and since Mummy was with us, we went to the deep end where the waves were even stronger! We were wearing life jackets so it was quite safe even though we went under water numerous times.
We took a slide (I forgot what the name of the slide was) that was green in colour and was quite exhilarating. The queue for that slide was quite long - about 45 minutes. The time seemed to pass really quickly as we sang songs like "Really Don't Care", "Best Song Ever" and "Here's To Never Growing Up". The slide was full of twists and turns, and our float went down the slide pretty fast. While sliding down, Liesel and I sang "Sparks Fly", another song by the awesome Taylor Swift. ;)
After dipping ourselves in the wave pool once again, Lauren and I decided to go snorkelling with fishes. Liesel and Shayne were scared that the fishes would nibble at their toes -.-, so they didn't want to go.
In the end, Liesel and Shayne decided to go to the wave pool with Mummy, and Lauren and I went to queue up for "Rainbow Reef". Rainbow Reef is the name of the snorkelling attraction at Adventure Cove.
The queue there was soooo long. Even longer than the queue for the slide. HOWEVER.....there was a couple standing in front of us in the queue and they were like so disgustingly gross. They were kissing non-stop and they looked so ridiculous that Lauren and I had to stifle our laughter. Even the people who stood behind us in the queue were going to laugh. Lauren and I then named the weird couple "Monster X". Heehee.... :)
We decided not to go snorkelling because the queue was just too long. It was also getting quite late and we had to go back home soon.
We went to bathe at the dirty toilets at Adventure Cove then went back home. Shayne's father offered to drive me and mummy back home. It was a tiring, fun and fulfilling day at Adventure Cove and I would really like to go back there with all my good friends again.
