San Diego - Sea World Day one

Ok, so i finally have time, and coughed up the $5 to use the internet net in the hostel for one hour. I will start with the morning of our first day in San Diego, which i skipped over and complained about the bed instead.

So, As soon as we got here we dropped our bags ( i may have mentioned this in the last post) and headed to Sea World. We saw Shamu, the Killer Killer whale. I think he/she is the one that has killed like 5 trainers, however unfortunately there was no such display of anger in today show.... there were however some pretty rad aerobatics considering it weighs like a thousand pounds... oh and he/she was fed baby Mexicans as a reward for each stunt. I guess it still has that thirst and taste for humans now and has to get its fix somewhere... and we are pretty close to the border here.

The rest of the day we spent at Sea World was also pretty cool.. there were only a few rides only one of which was fun. The other decided to soak us in 10 degree weather. Since my bag was too large to fit in the provided lockers i had to take it on the ride with me. Although people coming off the ride dint look too wet, i decided to cover it with the plastic bag that came with my bag from Uni. (brad, Luke u guys know the one). It was lucky i did because about 30 seconds into the ride we got hit by a massive wave, i actually thought we went under water we were that wet. The wave landed directly on Rach and Emily, while i was protected by them, however my bag took quite a hit. We were now angry, wet and cold while flying down the "rapids" in Sea World. I was annoyed that my phone and camera were probably toast, and rach and em were annoyed that their core body temperature was now critically low... we got off the ride, checked my camera (was ok) and then got stung by the $5 fee for the driers... thats right, they have the nerve to get you soaking wet (in winter with no warnings) and then charge you $5 for the privilege to dry yourself off. If you refuse this you will most likely die before sunset.

Anyway, here are some pics of this day.

At the airport we decided to go to see world.. cant remember why though..
