  • Went to The Land of Legends theme park/waterpark today.

    • Loved that the place was empty.

    • Loved the concept - combo of theme & water park - had a few really decent rollercoasters.

    • Loved the Dolphin show. Weirdly got choked up watching it - I couldn't believe the stuff they could do.

    • Loved that it was much more compact than most theme parks - much less time spent walking around - basically two central areas - one for rides and one for water slides.

    • Loved the big wave pool area with the bar near it. Could see us spending a really fun day here when it's proper hot and there are much more people.

    • Hated that you had to pay for everything with an nfc bracelet.

    • Hated that they let us pay for the Fastpass even though there was basically no one there.

    • Hated the extent to which everything was outrageously expensive - e.g. €30 for 2 cocktails.

  • Still in Antalya. We met up with Faith's colleague Matthieu, his wife and their son in the morning and rented a speedboat for 2 hours. It took us out along the coast and to several caves and a waterfall, then finally to a beach where we all jumped in - the water felt very cold at the beginning but the longer we stayed in the more comfortable it got - was a really nice trip with really nice people.
