Carrabelle Beach, Florida


View Larger Map

We went to Busch Gardens on Friday. The weather was supposed to be better in the morning so we got up early and were in the park not long after it opened. We wanted to go on all the main roller coasters. The best of which was called 'Sheikra'. It was the first dive coaster built in North America. It took you up 200ft and held you facing down a vertical drop for a few seconds before releasing. There were two of these drops and a couple of loops. Probably the shortest ride but definitely the best! ...

There were 4 or 5 main rides plus a few water based ones for us to cool down - it was roasting hot! The park was definitely the better than the ones we went to in LA. The queues were short, the layout was perfect, and the rides were better!

We were done a lot earlier than we thought, so we headed back to the RV park to go in the pool before we went for some Chinese food at P.F Changs (Which is really good by the way). Followed by the cinema.

We were supposed to be going to the beach the next day but the weather was awful. We took it easy and planned our next few days.

Today we had a 6 hour drive up the west coast of Florida to Carrabelle. We found a really nice rv campground right by the beach. The pool was deserted so we had it all to ourselves. The weather was great so we just spent most of the afternoon in/by the pool!



We have a place booked for the rv in New Orleans on Tuesday so we're going to stay here again tomorrow and have a longer drive to get there. But its worth it because its so perfect here!
