As I said on our last update from NASA, I've had plenty of internet problems. So please check out the previous entry which was also sent tonight.
Here we are at Universal Studios "Islands of Adventure". My wife & I are both big Harry Potter fans.
So when we heard that "Hogwarts" (the name of the Wizarding School" was opening, we knew we just had to go.
The Second Pic shows Hogarts School. Quite impressive mounted atop a hill. There are all kinds of "special effects" inside plus two rollercoasters which we went on. Very well done.
The Third Pic shows Hogsmeade Village where Students could socialize and down some pints etc......
They better be RICH Students!
The Fourth Pic shows the Three Broomsticks Pub. We "Downed a Few" here ourselves! The big favourite here is butterbeer. Very frothy. Not alcoholic but you just have to try some.
The Fifth and last Pic shows the Steam Locomotive which pulls the Hogwarts Express train to and from
the School. We got along famously with the Stationmaster!
So there you have it. As we approach the 3000 km mark (1800 miles), things are going really really well.
The weather is "wonderful" after the slow start getting here. It was 30 degrees C (82 degrees F) when we visited Universal yesterday. A little cooler today as it's been pooring rain all day. Sunday we start the next leg of our trip as we head west.
Take care and we'll talk soon. Hope the snow's not toooooo deep!
So happy to hear that you guys are having a wonderful trip. We wish we would have more snow in Orleans, the weather is very very very cold today. I would say the coldest day in years. But the nice part is: it is very sunny. This week should be a lot better with a little bit of snow. Can't wait to hear more of your travel. Yves and Céline.
