Travels in a Tin Can

(Kiana) #1

we posed for photos. Mainly people just stared rather than commenting -
there is that lack of sense of humour again. We did manage to get a discount
on our lunch though when Emma jokingly asked for a 'super hero discount'....
and actually got it. Sadly the food - Chinese - was a bit dodgy, the spring roll
tasted distinctly of tea - maybe the real reason for the discount?
Emma also made a fan of the female singer in a live street show based
on the Blues Brother's film. She was told that her make up was great and that
she was the singer’s ‘soul sister’ – getting a mini private serenade from the
singer.


Surprisingly the make-up stayed on through two meals, an ice cream sundae,
several rides and a cinema visit. In fact we used a whole pack of wet wipes
removing it from each other's faces that evening. Certainly value for money.
It was not just with a lot of effort but also with a certain amount of
reluctance that we removed the face paint; it was the last trace of the theme
park, the last we would visit during our travels. But, we still had three weeks
left altogether, and were about to hit the road again on a leisurely drive to the
Everglades, and hopefully some 'gator encounters.
