Another tiring day with 6 hours on the feet, more or less.

Bubba Gump's shrimps. Name from the film Forrest Gump with Tom Hanks.

The entrance to Universal Studios.
The roadmap for the establishment. We got one on paper as well.

A landmark dick on the premises.
The adventure can begin.

The rollercoasters are very impressive.
Martin did dare to take a trip, Roy did.

Hägar the Horrible is a popular character in Norway. So in the Universal Studios.
Martin with PopEye the Sailor Boy.

The rapids made for a very wet ride in a canoe. Roy took one and got very wet. After the trip, Roy made his own video of the ride.
Jurassic Park is very popular.

Quite a few stands here on the compond.
Sales shops all over the place.

One Jurassic skeleton is in order.
 

 

 The world of Harry Potter (HP).

Artificial snow on the roof gives a nice impression.
Nice waterway.

Entering the world of HP. Hogsmead Village where HP stayed during his studies.
The castle is impressive.

They have tours as well.
One of the fancy props from the films are here. This is the train.

The Lost Continent, Atlantis has its own stand.
One of the lost animals.

The lake outside is very nicely laid out in the park.
Time for a train ride for Roy and Martin.

Time for dinner at Hard Rock Cafe, the biggest in the world.

  

 
God is my co-pilot. Not a bad number plate.

Roy in a his handsome glory. Nice portrait of him.
The original photo of Roy and Martin, from which Martin made Roy's portrait.

A very happy and fancy barkeeper, Pearly.
Time for some Terminator 2 action in 3D.

The entrance of the Terminator building.
Martin with an old car from 1932.

More old cars.
Time to enter the cinema.

The Norwegian flag is also there.
Nice touch. Smokers have their own areas.

The Norwegians are queuing up for dinner at the Hard Rock Cafe.
Outside the Hard Rock Cafe you have this plane.

Finally, a lousy dinner at the Hard Rock Café, Sloppy Tex Mec BBQ tasted like wet newspaper.
Leaving Universal Studios on our way back home to our hotel, The Wyndham.  

In the evening, the young folks went off to the Boots’n Buckles Saloon i Lakeland some 30 minutes bus drive from the hotel. Martin took a range check.

The next day, Saturday October 19th, it was time for a visit to The Sea World with a dancing opportunity. Martin was too tired and didn't go.
