Splish Splash

Backpacking in USA needs money.. and well.. I did what everyone does... I work..
I worked as a life guard in a wetpark of a themepark.. Soak City in Cedar Point..

Working there means fun is included during your day off.. So it's off to another bright sunny day me and my friends decided to pay a visit to the water park Soak City.
The day started of with a bang and off we go... Weather was a bit chilly but who cares.. the water is heated anyway and the first stop we have.. is right outside the gates.. where we got a group photo. *snap *snap and into the park we go.. stopping by to say hi to some of my friends who are working at the admissions and life guarding positions... (*note.. you shouldn't be talking to the lifeguards on duty, they will not look you in the eye for conversation coz they will be looking at their waters where they are guarding) The yellow, purple slides + the big bucket behind us is the splash zone.. water guns, huge torrents of water from the bucket every couple minutes, 4 big slides for teens and above, 2 small slides for kids, dozens of beach chairs for sunbathing and a freeze your butt of water temperature. ( remember i said the water is heated? the water is heated cept the water turns cold the moment it hits the surface making the water at splash zone cold)

Alright.. lets hit the waters.. we started with a slow ride around the renegade river.. it's just a normal river with waves and currents, dipping buckets, small artificial waterfalls, water umbrella(the water is freezing for the umbrella), water curtains and a bit of something else... like bird's feathers... a dead rabbit once in awhile (the dead rabbit will be fished out by the lifeguards in the morning before the park opens.. i know. coz i work inside)

NEXT >>> Adventure Cove - slides, lily pads, log/snake floats and warm water.. at last.. after a freezing moment on land we dive into the warm water of the cove.. The girls can't wait to get onto the log for another codac moment on the floating log. Took us guys some time to stablize the log for the girls to get on.. The pics shall explain to you what i meant.




Time to head of to the beach.. Soft warm sand, pebbles, seagulls sanbathing on the beach, a empty coca-cola tin and dead fish corpses...Everywhere... In the sand, in the lake and even on the roof of the locker rentals....yuck.. We decided to walk on the beach and not go into the water.. Lake Erie is not a place to swim with so many fishes rotting away on the sand and lake... A few more pictures and it's time to head out for dinner..


Dinner time ! FAMOUS DAVE HERE WE COME !!! yummy... I will not write anything on this.. but you'll understand why... There are absolutely no words to describe what we had for dinner...mmmmm.... fingerlickingmouthwateringdelicious....
