Pool tiling

Posted on April 3, 2014February 18, 2017 by Ian C.

It’s been a week since our last pool update, but there was only one “dead” day – we had permits signed off on the plumbing & electrical conduit, and all the plumbing ditches were filled in.

Here’s some views at the end of today’s work, including a view from above!

Alternate Wild Africa Trek

One of our favorite extra cost Disney tours is Wild Africa Trek at Animal Kingdom. We’ve done this tour a few times already (2011, 2012, 2013) but with Margaret’s Mum unable to climb rope ladders and bridges, we didn’t think it was suitable.
But Disney being Disney, of course there’s a solution – the “alternate” Wild Africa Trek which replaces the early rope bridge part of the tour with extra time parkside. I expected this to be a little less fun, but it turned out that today was the best yet; mostly because the animals really stepped up their game – pure luck – but if you take a photo like this, how can the day go wrong:
