Universal Studios - Islands of Adventure

Today was a great day. We got up, had some breakie, waited a long time for the shuttle because apparently no one in Florida wears watches, and made our way to Universal Studios Orlando/
We've got a 2 day pass so did the Islands of Adventure today and will do Universal Studios tomorrow.




The park is split into different regions all located around a lake
