An early start at Universal Studios.

First stop Harry Potter Land.

We queued for the simulator ride and played a game of Quidditch. My stomach quickly reminded me why I don't do theme park rides.

Next stop Springfield.

Chief Wigham is in danger of losing his donut.

And I thought I was the alcoholic!

Ian is hoping he will get lucky with the romantic predicting machine.

Lunch at the REAL Krusty Burger store, Ian had "The Clogger"..

Seems wherever I go there is a shopping opportunity.

The "Upper lot" gives way to the lower movie lot below, the views are spectacular.

Next stop the Studio Tour, some of the old faithfuls remain, the plane crash from War of the Worlds, The earthquake in the underground station and newer additions such as " The fast and the Furious".

A selection of cars from movies, including The Flintstones.

The Bates Motel.

Water World, a slick spectacular featuring acrobatics & Pyrotechnics.

Don't attend if you don't want to get wet!

Talking about getting wet, we have a spa pool just outside our room, It's hotter than I usually take a bath.

To round off the evening, Ian brings me to my fave, applebee's for a great steak, some Nacho's and some very mediocre service.

Goodnight fabulous reader, see you soon xxx
