Gardaland

A day at Gardaland!

I am still so tired from this weekend; Fabio was over and yesterday we went with my friend Rosa and her man to Gardaland, a big theme park that is much like Disney World.

We met up at the stazione centrale at a quarter to 8, took our train and got off at Peschiera del Garda. That area is beautiful because of its gorgeous lake Garda... we took the bus and were in front of Gardaland.

Gardaland, a park I've always heard of but never went to. Everyone in Italy, well, almost everyone, has seen it so finally I have too... no matter I've been to two Disney parks and another Italian park, this one was a first...you can only imagine the heat, the sun! We were lucky though because out of all the days we picked one without huge crowds plus the sun was strong, but not unbearable. I enjoyed myself soooo much, first because I love those types of parks, second because we went in group and third, because I found Rosa to be my perfect theme park companion. We went on a few adrenaline rides, but avoided the crazy ones our boyfriends happily went on together.

In exchange, we went on kiddie-like rides that most adults would never even look at, and we laughed like there's no tomorrow! I'm posting pictures for your viewing enjoyment!

 

About to take the bus to the park!

 

The park, look how pwetty!

 

The first ride, Atlantis! We waited an hour for agony! Notice the same face I had at Mirabilandia last year when I went on the Pakal... do I look like I am having fun? There were cool water vapors all over the park that was great because it prevented us from melting under the sun!

 

In front of and inside the Valley of Kings... this was a stupid ride but the beams at the end were pretty cool...

 

Having a quick lunch and recuperating our strengths!

 

Watching the amazing (but unfortunately too short) dolphin show

 

About to go into the Corsari attraction... this one was my favorite!

ps. anyone who takes a picture next to my friend Rosa looks like a tub of lard

 

Our boyfriends on the new Sequoia ride... we didn't go on... hey, somebody had to take pictures!!

 

It was me and Rosa's turn for adrenaline rush... our equivalent on the Ortobruco Tour (and we weren't at all embarassed, we went on twice)

 

In front of Prezzemolo's house... underneath was the mad house and Fabio tricked me and Rose by saying it was all an illusion, while we actually spun around at a 180 degree angle shit I thought I was gonna throw up lunch!

 

After the fun house, our boyfriends felt so guilty they had to let us go on Doremi Farm shit it was embarassing but we had a blast and were laughing from beginning to end

 

We hit rock bottom on this ride... and put them on such a guilt trip for the mad house that they also came on...

 

Taking a final group picture and final shots of the park... we had a fuckin' blast!!!

 

Rosa and I waiting for our train, we both got the same stuffed Prezzemolo... luv it!!
