Arrived at Wild Florida just before lunch. Booked in our airboat tour for 12.45pm and then went into the park to have a look around while we were waiting. Watched the exotic animal show and saw a skunk, a boa constrictor and an alligator. I didn't feel the need to touch them but the kids enjoyed it. Kaleb then went and got his photo taken holding the baby alligator. I got yelled at for taking a photo of an alligator as the lady thought I was taking it of the child holding the alligator!! Really???
Headed back to wait for our airboat tour. Thank goodness we only boooked a 30 minute one. Saw alligators heading to dinner, saw alligators while eating lunch and what do we see on an airboat tour through the murky lake and tall reeds?? Absolutely nothing!! Very disappointing. The airboat itself was good and something different but it would have been nice to see some wildlife.
Went back in to the park and the kids fed the baby goats and alpaca at the petting zoo. We walked through the aviary and then saw the exotic birds - like the cockatoo lol! Saw the foxes, raccoons (so cute), bobcats, the lemurs (even more cute) and the sloths (definitely the cutest)! Had a wander around the swamp and read all the signs about the multitude of wildlife that lives there like beavers, otters, rabbits, alligators, snakes and frogs. What did we see!! Nothing! Except one little peacock. 😬
Headed back to the hotel with a quick (not) stop to get a new SIM card and a very unhealthy stop at Dollar Tree.
Back to the hotel and we went down to the pool to have a swim and a spa for an hour or so before dinner. Ian went to drop the car off and then we walked over to the Golden Corral again for dinner. The food is just so good! Kaleb said it was the best place he's ever been to! The steak was divine not to mention the prawns and chicken and pot roast and vegetables and apple pie and icecream etc etc etc!!! So going on a diet when we get home! 😬
