Water park adventures…..

Thursday 28th August 2014

San Antonio...as I have said before is not the quietest place, so at dawn there were boats coming and going and party goers returning to their apartments...fully intoxicated and not caring how much noise they make...so subsequently we were all awake fairly early...all slept well but were keen to get on with the day. So after a bowl of fruit and yoghurt we left Windekind and took the girls to a local cafe where we all had smoothies and chocolate croissants...start as you mean to go on has been our motto!!!

After last minute shopping for fresh produce, we left San Antonio marina and went across the bay back to Cala Torrent for a swim, snorkel, lunch and siesta.....

All day we have been telling the girls that we have a treat lined up for them this afternoon....I think they are quite worried now what it is...so time to put them out of their misery....we upped the anchor and went back into San Antonio bay and anchored right next to this........

...no more surprises....we are taking them for a water park adventure. BT and I tried this out yesterday and had a ball....however, we are still aching today from the activity yesterday, so I hope we make it round ...it is a real workout I have to say.

The first adventure was to load all four of us into Mango Tango.....as you can imagine there was lots of giggling and hilarity, but we did accomplish it.....!

We had a fantastic time climbing, jumping, swinging bouncing etc.....

however, BT and Harriet did sustain some injuries...jumping onto a giant inflatable pillow...

Abbie had succeeded to jump and cling onto this pillow previously so BT thought he could do the same. Abbie suggested that he jump like superman...but we’ve never seen superman fly with his legs astride...needless to say, BT straddled the pillow stretching his legs into the splits....before somersaulting over the top and landing with a huge splash into the water.....

he surfaced complaining that he would never walk again!!!!! Meanwhile Abbie and Harriet were finding it hard to cling on as they were in fits of giggles.

Having seen BT fly through the air and hear his complaints of never walking again Harriet poised to take her jump....BT’s last words to Harriet were “Keep your legs together!”  and Abbie this time suggested that Harriet jump like a spider!!!.... so she did....

....when Harriet surfaced, she too was complaining that she would never walk again...

by this time we were all in stitches...and a very sensible Billy decided to give this one a miss and be official photographer...Abbie, did give it a go...

I wonder what advice she gave herself....!! We have all decided not to listen to her advice again!

BT and Harriet struggled out of the water...walking in a very odd way...Harriet only had one leg in use and BT was surprised to find that he could just about walk!

Once back onboard, we set sail for Cala Salada....our night stop!

We decided that after todays adventures we all deserved Sangria...so we all climbed aboard Mango Tango again....Harriet and Billy arrived at the destination with soggy, wet backsides...meanwhile BT and Abbie were perfectly dry....and went to the beach bar for two jugs of Sangria...

[caption id="attachment_2141" align="aligncenter" width="640"] So lovely to have you two onboard….[/caption]

this is the moment when we recounted the story of the splits...by now it was hilarious...the Sangria obviously helped!
