Rainforest Cafe

Sorry I forgot to mention in my blog that last Tuesday Kirsty and I went to the Rainforest Cafe after work. It was so much fun! Every now and again a thunder storm would start - lightning would start flashing in the sky and thunder rumbling. There are elephants and gorillas decorating the restaurant and they make noise and move around whenever there is a storm! It's great.
The food was also amazing. We both had a beef pot roast and it was the most tender, tasty beef I'd ever had! Yum!

The United Kingdom Pavillion! Well the shops of it anyway. I forgot to take some of the Pub and Fish and Chip shop! From left to right: the sports shop; the tea shop; the sports shop again; street leading down to the Beatles shop and the toy shop. Sometimes at work when walking through the street you actually do feel like you are back in medieval times! It's like a little market street!







The French pavillion with the Eiffel Tower! - One of my faves of the World Showcase.





The almighty Epcot ball from across the lagoon at the World Showcase. It is home to a ride called Spaceship Earth, which is fun because you get to travel all around the inside of the ball! I get to walk past it everyday on my way to work! Still can't believe I'm here!

Me with Dopey and Snow White!
