Thank the lord the sun re appeared!!! .....well it did have little short bursts of drizzle but nothing we couldn't handle after last nights epic "shower" of 180mm (of rain) just overnight. We really did think we would have to abandon ship and head for higher ground! It was so noisy in the tent with the pounding rain that it seriously sounded like you had put a bag on your head and turned the shower on, all whilst trying to sleep. Hence why Maciek slept with ear plugs in not as dumb as it sounds; he slept soundly. Me on the other hand, was too busy getting hit, punch (by the third body in our bed - Bella) and snorting Bella's hair up my nose to even think about deep sleep. Thankfully around 5 am the rains cleared and we awoke to the clouds parting and the sun trying to shine through. After a quick freshen up and breakfast we headed for the much anticipated and longed for..... Seaworld! HOORAY!! we finally made it. We really thought we were going to miss this theme park all together due to the weather (and the fact that we are suppose to be on Fraser Island today but extended our stay on the Gold Coast till Tomorrow).
It was great for all of us to get out and get some fresh air. The kids really enjoyed sea world and all it has to offer. We enjoyed watching a couple of the shows - Dora the explorer (for Bella); Sponge Bob square pants (for Krystian) and the Jet ski stunt show. all the while squeezing in some of the rides for some thrill seeking excitement to go along. Our favourite ride was the Jet ski rescue roller coaster. Krystian LOVED this ride the most!

Time flies when your having fun! Before we knew it it was 5 o'clock! After another long day, we headed to the kids favourite restaurant "Outback Jack's" for some dinner before heading back to camp for bed (and Maciek and i have packing to do). Tomorrow sees us departing the "not so sunny" Gold Coast heading for Hervey Bay.
