29 July - Universal Studios


Woke up a bit late this morning and decided to eat at the cafe here at the hotel. Beautiful food, lousy service - we unfortunately got the bad waiter. Never mind.
The hotel has a complimentary shuttle bus service to Universal Studios, so we took advantage of it. Some things are the same as the last time we came here (back in 2002), others are new. It's still school holiday time here and so it was pretty crowded but we didn't have to wait too long anywhere except for the Studio Tour - the sign said the wait would be 60 minutes, it was only about 40 and worth every minute of it.
I didn't take many pictures - for most of the interesting things photography was banned, or alternatively, the risk of getting the camera drenched wasn't worth it. I got really wet on the Jurassic Park ride, and a little bit wet three more times!
Overall, a good day, but I think I'm still not completely over the jetlag.
